NAME
       sdt - DTrace statically defined tracing provider

DESCRIPTION
       The  sdt  driver  is a DTrace dynamic tracing provider that performs dynamic instrumentation at statically-defined locations in the Solaris
       kernel.

       The sdt provider allows kernel developers to explicitly create probes at formally designated locations in the operating system  kernel  and
       loadable modules, allowing the implementor to consciously choose the points in their code that are desired probe points, and to convey some
       semantic knowledge about that point with the choice of probe name and a relevant set of arguments.

       The sdt driver is not a public interface and you access instrumentation offered by this provider  through  DTrace.  Refer  to  the  Solaris
       Dynamic Tracing Guide for a description of the public documented interfaces available for the DTrace facility and the probes offered by the
       sdt provider.
