dtrace discuss - May 2008 - Question about dtrace -G -s x.d

Hi,
I''m wondering about what dtrace -G -s probes.d code.o is doing.
Does this command change the code.o object file or is it only  
creating an probes.o
object file. I''m wondering how I can gather many dtrace probes from
many
different directories in one provider to see if this is possible.

Hi Mikael,

dtrace -G scans through all the object files you specify both collecting data
and modifying them. It then produces the output object file using the source
D file and the data collected from the object files.

You can specify as many object files as you like to the dtrace(1M) invocation
regardless of what directories they''re in.
