-# strace(1)

-
-strace [OPTS] [ELF]
- -f .......... follow child processes on fork(2)
- -p <pid> .... attach to running process
- -s <size> ... max string size (default: 32)
- -e <expr> ... expression for trace filtering
- -o <file> ... log output into <file>
- -c .......... dump syscall statitics at the end
-
-useful <expr>:
- trace=syscall[,syscall] .... trace only syscall listed
- trace=file ................. trace all syscall that take a filename as arg
- trace=process .............. trace process management related syscalls
- trace=signal ............... trace signal related syscalls
- signal ..................... trace signals delivered to the process
-
-use cases:
-- trace 'open & socket' syscalls for a running process + childs
-strace -f -p <pid> -e trace=open,socket
-
-- trace signals delivered to a running process
-strace -f -p <pid> -e signal

-#
-# lsof(8)
-#
-
-lsof
- -a ......... AND slection filters instead ORing (OR: default)
- -p <pid> ... list open file descriptors for process
- +fg ........ show file flags for file descripros
- -n ......... don't convert network addr to hostnames
- -P ......... dont' convert network port to know service names
- -i <@h[:p]>. show connections to h (hostname|ip addr) with optional port p
-
-file flags:
- R/W/RW ..... read/write/read-write
- CR ......... create
- AP ......... append
- TR ......... truncate
-
-uase cases:
-- show open files with file flags
-lsof +fg -p <pid>
-
-- show open tcp connections from user
-lsof -a -u $USER -i tcp
-
-- show open connections to 'localhost' for user
-lsof -a -u $USER -i @localhost

-#
-# pmap(1)
-#
-
-pmap <pid>
- ............. dump virtual memory map of process.
- compared to /proc/<pid>/maps it shows the size of the mappings
-
-
-#
-# pstack(1)
-#
-
-pstack <pid>
- ............. dump current stack of process + threads
-
-
-#
-# pidstat(1)
-#
-
-# trace minor/major page faults
-pidstat -r -p <pid> [interval]
- minor_pagefault: happens when the page needed is already in memory but not
- allocated to the faulting process, in that case the kernel
- only has to create a new page-table entry pointing to the
- shared physical page
- major_pagefault: happends when the page needed is NOT in memory, the kernel
- has to create a new page-table entry and populate the
- physical page

-#
-# perf(1)
-#
-
-# get supported events
-perf list
- ......... show supported hw/sw events
-
-perf stat
- -p <pid> .. show stats for running process
- -I <ms> ... show stats periodically over interval <ms>
- -e <ev> ... filter for events
-
-perf top
- -p <pid> .. show stats for running process
- -F <hz> ... sampling frequency
- -K ........ hide kernel threads
-
-perf record
- -p <pid> ............... record stats for running process
- -F <hz> ................ sampling frequency
- --call-graph <method> .. [fp, dwarf, lbr] method how to caputre backtrace
- fp : use frame-pointer, need -fno-omit-frame-pointer
- dwarf: use .cfi debug information
- lbr : use hardware last branch record facility
- -g ..................... short-hand for --call-graph fp
- -e <ev> ................ filter for events
-
-perf report
- -n .................... annotate symbols with nr of samples
- --stdio ............... report to stdio, if not presen tui mode
- -g graph,0.5,caller ... show caller based call chains with value >0.5
-
-useful <ev>:
- page-faults
- minor-faults
- major-faults
- cpu-cycles`
- task-clock
