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

NAME
       filebyproc.d - snoop opens by process name. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
       filebyproc.d

DESCRIPTION
       filebyproc.d  is	 a DTrace OneLiner to print file pathnames as they are
       opened, including the name of the process calling  the  open.   A  line
       will  be	 printed regardless of whether the open is actually successful
       or not.

       This is useful to learn which  files  applications  are	attempting  to
       open, such as config files, database files, log files, etc.

       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 new process name and pathnames until Ctrl-C is hit.
	      # filebyproc.d

FIELDS
       CPU    The CPU that recieved the event

       ID     A DTrace probe ID for the event

       FUNCTION:NAME
	      The DTrace probe name for the event

       remaining fields
	      The first is the name of the process, the	 second	 is  the  file
	      pathname.

DOCUMENTATION
       See  the	 DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs direc‐
       tory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver‐
       bose descriptions explaining the output.

EXIT
       filebyproc.d will run forever until Ctrl-C is hit.
