By +default it traces user functions only, options can be used to +trace library activity. + +Of particular interest is the elapsed times and on cpu times, which +can identify both function calls that are slow to complete, and those +which are consuming CPU cycles. + +Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the +dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. +.SH OS +Solaris +.SH STABILITY +stable - needs the pid provider. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\-a +print all details +.TP +\-b bufsize +dynamic variable buffer size.
