NAME
       creatbyproc.d - snoop creat()s by process name. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
       creatbyproc.d

DESCRIPTION
       creatbyproc.d is a DTrace OneLiner to print file creations as it occurs, including the name of the process calling the open.

       This  matches  file  creates  from the creat() system call; not all file creation occurs in this way, sometimes it is through open() with a
       O_CREAT flag, this script will not monitor that activity.

       Docs/oneliners.txt and Docs/Examples/oneliners_examples.txt in the DTraceToolkit contain this as a oneliner that can be cut-n-paste to run.

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

EXAMPLES
       This prints process names and new pathnames until Ctrl-C is hit.
	      # creatbyproc.d

       remaining fields

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.
