- Set target data model for a specific architecture:
`dtrace -arch {{arch_name}}`
- Claim [a]nonymous tracing state and display the traced data:
`dtrace -a`
- Set principal trace buffer size. Supported units are `k`, `m`, `g`, or `t`:
`dtrace -b {{2g}}`
- Compile the specified D Program [s]ource file:
`dtrace -s {{D_script}}`
- Run the specified [c]ommand and exit upon its completion:
`dtrace -c {{command}}`
- Specify [f]unction name to trace or list (-l option). The corresponding argument can include any of the probe description forms like `provider:module:function`, `module:function` or `function`:
`dtrace -f {{function}}`
- Grad the specified [p]rocess ID, cache its symbol table, and exit upon completion:
`dtrace -p {{pid}}`
- Combine different options for tracing function in a process:
`dtrace -a -b {{buffer_size}} -f {{function}} -p {{pid}}`
