When writing about dtrace (or is it DTrace?), how does one properly spell it? If it''s "dtrace", that''s cool, save at the beginning of a sentence, where it might be spelled Dtrace. If it''s DTrace, then we have both ends covered.>From an IPsec developer who''s picky about capitalization (i.e. it''s notIPSec...) Dan

See, for example, dtrace(1M): ... The Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide describes how to use DTrace to observe, debug, and tune system behavior.

Hey Dan, When you''re writing about DTrace the framework, the feature or the technique, it''s "DTrace", when you''re writing about the user-level command, it''s "dtrace" or "dtrace(1M)". Here''s a typical example: DTrace is neat! I DTraced the shit out of that application and got a huge win. But thank goodness for that DTrace answerbook -- I can never remember the options for dtrace(1M). Hope that helps.
