NAME
dlight - startup script for DLight, a graphical tool that
enables application developers to use DTrace technology to
observe application behavior
SYNOPSYS
dlight [ --jdkhome "path" ] [ -V | --version] [ -? | --
help ] [ -Jjvm-options ]
DESCRIPTION
DLight is an interactive graphical observability tool that
uses Oracle Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) technology. You
can use DLight on Oracle Solaris platforms to analyze graph-
ical data from multiple DTrace scripts in a synchronized
fashion to trace a runtime problem in a C/C++/Fortran appli-
cation or AMP stack to the root cause.
OPTIONS
--jdkhome path
Explicitly specifies the path to the Java 6 JDK or JRE.
If this option is not given, the command looks for the
JDK in your PATH. If the dlight command cannot find a
JDK in your path, it looks for one in /usr/jdk and
/usr/java. If you specify a JDK path with the --jdkhome
option and the command finds an invalid JRE at that
location, it issues a warning and terminates its
search.
-V | --version
Displays version information for DLight.
-? | --help
Displays the list of command-line options.
-Jjvm-options]
Specifies options to the Java Virtual Machine that is
started for DLight. See the java man page for descrip-
tions of options.
DLight is based on the NetBeans platform. You can see
options for NetBeans-based applications by typing /<studio-
directory>/lib/netbeans/bin/netbeans --help
For an explanation of the startup options of NetBeans-based
applications: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqStartupParameters
