.TH KDUMP 1
.SH NAME
.I kdump
\- display kernel trace data
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kdump
[
.B -dnlT
]
.B -f 
trfile ]
[
.B -t 
trstr ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Kdump
displays kernel trace files produced with ktrace(1) in a human readable format.
Without the -f flag, kdump reads the file "ktrace.data" in the current
directory.
Following is a description of the options:
.br
.TP
.B \-d
Display all numbers in decimal.
.TP
.B \-n
Suppress ad hoc translations.  Normally kdump tries to decode many
system calls into a more human readable format.  For example, ioctl
values are replaced with the macro name and errno values are replaced
with the sys_errlist string.  Suppressing this feature yields a more consistent
output format and is more amenable to further processing.
.TP
.B \-l
Loop reading end-of-file.
.TP
.B \-T
Display timestamps.
.TP
.B \-t trstr
See -t in ktrace(1).
.TP
.B \-f trfile
See -t in ktrace(1).
.TP
.B \-m maxdata
Display at most \fBmaxdata\fP bytes when decoding i/o.
