That is _not_ the documentation -- you are looking at the ancient
Sun-internal DTrace web site, which should be used _only_ for historical
purposes.  (You''ll note that dtrace.eng redirects you to the DTrace
community
page.)

Yes, this _was_ true -- until June 2003.  It has not been this way for
four years, which is about the same time that that usage page has been
deprecated in lieu of the documentation.  Please, read and refer to the
_documentation_, not ancient internal web sites...
