# Redirect stdout to a file.
# Creates the file if not present, otherwise overwrites it.

BTRACE(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 BTRACE(8)

NAME
btrace - trace bitblt protocol SYNOPSIS
btrace [ -d [ d ]] [ -o ofile ] [ -b bfile ] DESCRIPTION
Btrace eavesdrops on messages to and from /dev/bitblt, interprets them as messages in the bit device protocol (see bit(3)), and prints a readable version of the messages on a trace file, btrace.out by default. After btrace is started, it runs in the background, tracing all subsequent graphics programs run in that window. Options for btrace are: -o ofile Print trace output in ofile instead of btrace.out. -b bfile Dump each bitmap read or written to bfile, using the format of bitmap(6). Each succeeding bitmap overwrites the previous con- tents of file. Tweak(1) or showimage(7) can be used to examine the file. -d Increase the level of trace detail. The maximum level is -dd. FILES
/dev/bitblt SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/btrace.c SEE ALSO
bit(3), bitmap(6), graphics(2), tweak(1), showimage(7) BTRACE(8)
