-tracemax maxsize
(Abbr.: -tm)
Used with first -traceon option only.
Tracing uses a circular file method such that when one file fills up, another file is used.
The number of trace files that can exist on a system at any given time can be specified
using the
-n option. See Data File Management below for more information on file
behavior.
maxsize specifies the maximum size in kilobytes (KB) of any two trace files combined.
Therefore, the maximum size of each trace file will be approximately half of maxsize kilo-
bytes (KB). The default value for the combined file sizes is 1000 KB. The possible range
for maxsize is 100 to 99999.
Note : maxsize /2 should be greater than or equal to the the size of a trace buffer. If this
condition is satisfied, the default value for maxsize is 1000. If not, the file size will be
automatically adjusted to meet the requirement and
nettl -status
can be used to
see the actual trace file used. See Trace Memory Management for more information.
-n num_files Used with first -traceon option only.
Specifies the number of trace files that can exist on a system at any given time. However,
nettl can reduce the number of trace files depending on the available disk space. If the
option is not specified, the default value is two trace files.
-traceoff (Abbr.: -tf)
Requires the -entity option.
Disable tracing of subsystem s specified by the
-entity option. If all is specified as an
argument to the -entity option, all tracing is disabled. The trace file remains, and can
be formatted by using the netfmt command to view the trace messages it contains (see
netfmt (1M)).
-traceon all
-traceon kind ...
(Abbr.: -tn)
Requires the -entity option. The -card option is required for X.25 subsystems.
Other options are not required.
Start tracing on the specified subsystems. The tracing and logging facility must have
been initialized by
nettl -start for this command to have any effect. The default
trace file is standard output; it can be overridden by the -file option. If standard out-
put is a terminal device, then an informative message is displayed and no trace data is
produced.
When tracing is enabled, every operation through the subsystems is recorded if the kind
mask is matched.
kind defines the trace masks used by the tracing facility before recording a message. If
-traceon all is specified, all trace masks are enabled. kind can be entered as one or
several of the following keywords or masks:
keyword mask keyword mask
