Creating Custom DTrace Consumers
You can create custom DTrace consumers when you want to modify the default operation of the DTrace framework. The following list provides a few scenarios when you want to create custom DTrace consumer:
-
Modify the format or frequency of the default
dtrace
output format. -
Change the sort order of the output when using an aggregation.
-
Simplify the parsing of
dtrace
output.
For more information, see the
libdtrace
(3LIB) man page.
