NAME

       topsysproc - top syscalls by process name. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS

       topsysproc [-Cs] [interval [count]]

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  continually  prints  a  report of the number of system calls by process name, and refreshes the display every 1 second or as
       specified at the command line. Similar data can be fetched with "prstat -m".

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