traps(1)traps(1)NAMEtraps - command used to measure system-wide trapsSYNOPSIStraps args app params
DESCRIPTION
The traps command measures system-wide traps over the entire run of an
application. If the application is the only load on the system, then
all the traps can be attributed to that one application. If there are
multiple applications running on the system, then it is not possible to
attribute traps to a specific one of them.
The traps command is a wrapper for trapstat. Hence traps must be run
with the necessary privileges.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-g file
If gnuplot is available on the path, then produce a graph show‐
ing the trap activity over the entire run of the application.
-h Print help information
-o file
Output the results of the script to the given file, rather than
to stdout.
-V Print version information
-v Generate debug output
Output
The output of the traps command will be the average number of traps per
second for the various traps.
