Oracle Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide Oracle Solaris 11 Information Library |
Subroutines differ from actions because they generally only affect internal DTrace state. Therefore, there are no destructive subroutines, and subroutines never trace data into buffers. Many subroutines have analogs in the Section 9F or Section 3C interfaces. See Intro(9F) and Intro(3) for more information on the corresponding subroutines.
void *alloca(size_t size)
alloca allocates size bytes out of scratch space, and returns a pointer to the allocated memory. The returned pointer is guaranteed to have 8–byte alignment. Scratch space is only valid for the duration of a clause. Memory allocated with alloca will be deallocated when the clause completes. If insufficient scratch space is available, no memory is allocated and an error is generated.
string basename(char *str)
basename is a D analogue for basename(1). This subroutine creates a string that consists of a copy of the specified string, but without any prefix that ends in /. The returned string is allocated out of scratch memory, and is therefore valid only for the duration of the clause. If insufficient scratch space is available, basename does not execute and an error is generated.
void bcopy(void *src, void *dest, size_t size)
bcopy copies size bytes from the memory pointed to by src to the memory pointed to by dest. All of the source memory must lie outside of scratch memory and all of the destination memory must lie within it. If these conditions are not met, no copying takes place and an error is generated.
string cleanpath(char *str)
cleanpath creates a string that consists of a copy of the path indicated by str, but with certain redundant elements eliminated. In particular “/./” elements in the path are removed, and “/../” elements are collapsed. The collapsing of /../ elements in the path occurs without regard to symbolic links. Therefore, it is possible that cleanpath could take a valid path and return a shorter, invalid one.
For example, if str were “/foo/../bar” and /foo were a symbolic link to /net/foo/export, cleanpath would return the string “/bar” even though bar might only be in /net/foo not /. This limitation is due to the fact that cleanpath is called in the context of a firing probe, where full symbolic link resolution or arbitrary names is not possible. The returned string is allocated out of scratch memory, and is therefore valid only for the duration of the clause. If insufficient scratch space is available, cleanpath does not execute and an error is generated.
void *copyin(uintptr_t addr, size_t size)
copyin copies the specified size in bytes from the specified user address into a DTrace scratch buffer, and returns the address of this buffer. The user address is interpreted as an address in the space of the process associated with the current thread. The resulting buffer pointer is guaranteed to have 8-byte alignment. The address in question must correspond to a faulted-in page in the current process. If the address does not correspond to a faulted-in page, or if insufficient scratch space is available, NULL is returned, and an error is generated. See Chapter 12, User Process Tracing for techniques to reduce the likelihood of copyin errors.
string copyinstr(uintptr_t addr) string copyinstr(uintptr_t addr, size_t maxlength)
copyinstr copies a null-terminated C string from the specified user address into a DTrace scratch buffer, and returns the address of this buffer. The user address is interpreted as an address in the space of the process associated with the current thread. The maxlength parameter, if specified, sets a limit on the number of bytes past addr which will be examined (the resulting string will always be null-terminated). The resulting string's length is limited to the value set by the strsize option; see Chapter 10, Options and Tunables for details. As with copyin, the specified address must correspond to a faulted-in page in the current process. If the address does not correspond to a faulted-in page, or if insufficient scratch space is available, NULL is returned, and an error is generated. See Chapter 12, User Process Tracing for techniques to reduce the likelihood of copyinstr errors.
void copyinto(uintptr_t addr, size_t size, void *dest)
copyinto copies the specified size in bytes from the specified user address into the DTrace scratch buffer specified by dest. The user address is interpreted as an address in the space of the process associated with the current thread. The address in question must correspond to a faulted-in page in the current process. If the address does not correspond to a faulted-in page, or if any of the destination memory lies outside scratch space, no copying takes place, and an error is generated. See Chapter 12, User Process Tracing for techniques to reduce the likelihood of copyinto errors.
string dirname(char *str)
dirname is a D analogue for dirname(1). This subroutine creates a string that consists of all but the last level of the pathname specified by str. The returned string is allocated out of scratch memory, and is therefore valid only for the duration of the clause. If insufficient scratch space is available, dirname does not execute and an error is generated.
string inet_ntoa(ipaddr_t *addr)
inet_ntoa takes a pointer to an IPv4 address and returns it as a dotted quad decimal string. This is similar to inet_ntoa() from libnsl as described in inet(3SOCKET), however this D version takes a pointer to the IPv4 address rather than the address itself. The returned string is allocated out of scratch memory, and is therefore valid only for the duration of the clause. If insufficient scratch space is available, inet_ntoa does not execute and an error is generated.
string inet_ntoa6(in6_addr_t *addr)
inet_ntoa6 takes a pointer to an IPv6 address and returns it as an RFC 1884 convention 2 string, with lower case hexadecimal digits. The returned string is allocated out of scratch memory, and is therefore valid only for the duration of the clause. If insufficient scratch space is available, inet_ntoa6 does not execute and an error is generated.
string inet_ntop(int af, void *addr)
inet_ntop takes a pointer to an IP address and returns a string version depending on the provided address family. This is similar to inet_ntop() from libnsl as described in inet(3SOCKET). Supported address families are AF_INET and AF_INET6, both of which have been defined for use in D programs. The returned string is allocated out of scratch memory, and is therefore valid only for the duration of the clause. If insufficient scratch space is available, inet_ntop does not execute and an error is generated.
size_t msgdsize(mblk_t *mp)
msgdsize returns the number of bytes in the data message pointed to by mp. See msgdsize(9F) for details. msgdsize only includes data blocks of type M_DATA in the count.
size_t msgsize(mblk_t *mp)
msgsize returns the number of bytes in the message pointed to by mp. Unlike msgdsize, which returns only the number of data bytes, msgsize returns the total number of bytes in the message.
int mutex_owned(kmutex_t *mutex)
mutex_owned is an implementation of mutex_owned(9F). mutex_owned returns non-zero if the calling thread currently holds the specified kernel mutex, or zero if the specified adaptive mutex is currently unowned.
Top
kthread_t *mutex_owner(kmutex_t *mutex)
mutex_owner returns the thread pointer of the current owner of the specified adaptive kernel mutex. mutex_owner returns NULL if the specified adaptive mutex is currently unowned, or if the specified mutex is a spin mutex. See mutex_owned(9F).
int mutex_type_adaptive(kmutex_t *mutex)
mutex_type_adaptive returns non-zero if the specified kernel mutex is of type MUTEX_ADAPTIVE, or zero if it is not. Mutexes are adaptive if they meet one or more of the following conditions:
The mutex is declared statically
The mutex is created with an interrupt block cookie of NULL
The mutex is created with an interrupt block cookie that does not correspond to a high-level interrupt
See mutex_init(9F) for more details on mutexes. The majority of mutexes in the Oracle Solaris kernel are adaptive.
int progenyof(pid_t pid)
progenyof returns non-zero if the calling process (the process associated with the thread that is currently triggering the matched probe) is among the progeny of the specified process ID.
int rand(void)
rand returns a pseudo-random integer. The number returned is a weak pseudo-random number, and should not be used for any cryptographic application.
int rw_iswriter(krwlock_t *rwlock)
rw_iswriter returns non-zero if the specified reader-writer lock is either held or desired by a writer. If the lock is held only by readers and no writer is blocked, or if the lock is not held at all, rw_iswriter returns zero. See rw_init(9F).
int rw_write_held(krwlock_t *rwlock)
rw_write_held returns non-zero if the specified reader-writer lock is currently held by a writer. If the lock is held only by readers or not held at all, rw_write_held returns zero. Seerw_init(9F).
int speculation(void)
speculation reserves a speculative trace buffer for use with speculate and returns an identifier for this buffer. See Chapter 7, Speculative Tracing for details.
string strjoin(char *str1, char *str2)
strjoin creates a string that consists of str1 concatenated with str2. The returned string is allocated out of scratch memory, and is therefore valid only for the duration of the clause. If insufficient scratch space is available, strjoin does not execute and an error is generated.
size_t strlen(string str)
strlen returns the length of the specified string in bytes, excluding the terminating null byte.
