- <title>Introduction</title>
- <para>
- This page provides details on a
- <ulink url="http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace/Statically+Defined+Tracing+for+User+Applications">statically defined user application tracing provider</ulink>
- for the
- <ulink url="http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+dtrace/">DTrace</ulink>
- facility in <productname>Solaris</productname> 10,
- <productname>MacOS X</productname> 10.5, and later releases. This
- provider instruments various points in the X server, to allow
- tracing what client applications are up to.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- The provider was integrated into the X.Org git master repository
- with Solaris 10 &amp; OpenSolaris support for the Xserver 1.4 release,
- released in 2007 with X11R7.3. Support for DTrace on MacOS X
- was added in Xserver 1.7.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- These probes expose the request and reply structure of the X protocol
- between clients and the X server, so an understanding of that basic
- nature will aid in learning how to use these probes.
- </para>
- </sect1>
-
- <sect1 id="probes">
- <title>Available probes</title>
-
- <para>
- Due to the way User-Defined DTrace probes work, arguments to
- these probes all bear undistinguished names of
- <parameter>arg0</parameter>, <parameter>arg1</parameter>,
- <parameter>arg2</parameter>, etc. These tables should help you
- determine what the real data is for each of the probe arguments.

- This script simply prints information about each client that
- connects or disconnects from the server while it is running.
- Since the provider is specified as <code>Xserver$1</code> instead
- of <code>Xserver*</code> like previous examples, it won't monitor
- all Xserver processes running on the machine, but instead expects
- the process id of the X server to monitor to be specified as the
- argument to the script.
