hi everyone, Right now when I do: strcmp(s1, s2); i get a core dump because at times s1 or s2 can be nothing so that makes strcmp() core dump. What is the solution, if at times I expect one of them (or both) to be NULL? I want to be able to compare that s1 is NULL and s2 is "blah" or...

Using GDB to analyse different CORE dumps

Hi, Can we modify the GDB source code so as to analyze core dumps from different targets? From my analysis, I think we need to build our section table statically for each target. i.e., including the various address boundaries in build_section_table() function. If this is the case, then the GDB...

AIX core dumps

core dumps

i had a situation where a process was defunct. preap would not reap the process and gcore would not work properly (not sure why). therefore, the suggestion was to force a panic and collect the core dump. obviously you could do a savecore -L and capture the dump without bringing down the system....

iofileb.d

iofileb.d(1m)							   USER COMMANDS						     iofileb.d(1m)

NAME

       iofileb.d - I/O bytes by file and process. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS

       iofileb.d

DESCRIPTION

       This  prints  a	summary  of  requested	disk  activity	by pathname, providing totals of the I/O events in bytes. It is a companion to the
       iofile.d script - which prints in terms of I/O wait time, not bytes.  I/O wait time  is	a  better  metric  for	understanding  performance
       issues.	Both disk and NFS I/O are measured.

       Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

EXAMPLES

       Sample until Ctrl-C is hit then print report,
	      # iofileb.d

FIELDS

       PID    process ID

       CMD    process name

       KB     kilobytes of disk I/O

       FILE   file pathname

DOCUMENTATION

       See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver-
       bose descriptions explaining the output.

EXIT

       iofileb.d will sample until Ctrl-C is hit.
