ECFIND(1)ECFIND(1)NAMEecfind - report processes using process-based event counters
SYNOPSISecfind [-tv]
DESCRIPTIONecfind may be used on systems with R1x000 processors to discover which
processes, if any, are currently using the process-based hardware event
counter mechanisms, e.g. executing an application under the control of
perfex(1).
This is most useful in situations where the global event counters cannot
be enabled with ecadmin(1) due to concurrent use of the process-based
event counters.
ecfind uses icrash(1) on the running kernel, and hence must be run as
root.
The options to ecfind are as follows;
-t By default ecfind reports processes using a subset of the output
from ps(1) with the options -ef. The -t (or terse) option produces
a more spartan output format with just the process id and the
command name reported.
-v More verbose output, with the details of intermediate data used to
identify the processes of interest. This is most useful for
debugging any cases in which ecfind does not correctly identify the
target processes.
