man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.

|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Kgmon
|
|
is a tool used when profiling the operating system.
|
|
When no arguments are supplied,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
indicates the state of operating system profiling as running,
|
|
off, or not configured.
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr config 8 )
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
flag is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
extracts profile data from the operating system and produces a
|
|
.Pa gmon.out
|
|
file suitable for later analysis by
|
|
.Xr gprof 1 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl B
|
|
Resume the collection of high resolution profile data.
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Resume the collection of low resolution profile data.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Stop the collection of profile data.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Dump the contents of the profile buffers into a
|
|
.Pa gmon.out
|
|
file.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Reset all the profile buffers.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
flag is also specified, the
|
|
.Pa gmon.out
|
|
file is generated before the buffers are reset.
|
|
.It Fl M
|
|
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
|
|
instead of the default ``/dev/kmem''.
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the
|
|
default ``/kernel''.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If neither
|
|
.Fl B
|
|
nor
|
|
.Fl b
|
|
nor
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
is specified, the state of profiling collection remains unchanged.
|
|
For example, if the
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
flag is specified and profile data is being collected,
|
|
profiling will be momentarily suspended,
|
|
the operating system profile buffers will be dumped,
|
|
and profiling will be immediately resumed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The profile buffers should be reset when the resolution
|
|
of the profile data is changed.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Users with only read permission on
|
|
.Pa /dev/kmem
|
|
cannot change the state
|
|
of profiling collection.
|
|
They can get a
|
|
.Pa gmon.out
|
|
file with the warning that the data may be
|
|
inconsistent if profiling is in progress.
