Consumer Options

DTrace is tuned by setting or enabling options. The available options are described in the table below. For some options, dtrace(1M) provides a corresponding command-line option.

Values that denote sizes may be given an optional suffix of k, m, g, or t to denote kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes respectively. Values that denote times may be given an optional suffix of ns, us, ms, s or hz to denote nanoseconds, microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, and number-per-second, respectively.
