| 4 | lttng-ust-dl \(em LTTng UST 2.x Dynamic Linker Tracing | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | .SH "SYNOPSIS" | |
| 7 | Launch your application with: | |
| 8 | .TP | |
| 9 | \fBLD_PRELOAD=liblttng-ust-dl.so\fP appname | |
| 10 | .PP | |
| 11 | This LD_PRELOAD library causes all calls to dlopen and dlclose in the | |
| 12 | application to be traced with LTTng. The following two events need to be | |
| 13 | enabled: ust_baddr:push and ust_baddr:pop. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
| 16 | The events have the following detailed definitions: | |
| 17 | .PP | |
| 18 | .IP "ust_baddr:push" | |
| 19 | This event is used to trace dlopen calls. The base address (where the dynamic | |
| 20 | linker has placed the shared object) is recorded in the baddr-field. The path | |
| 21 | to the shared object gets recorded in the sopath-field (as string). The file | |
| 22 | size of the loaded object (in bytes) is recorded to the size-field and its time | |
| 23 | of last modification (in seconds since Epoch) is recorded in the mtime-field. | |
| 24 | .IP "ust_baddr:pop" | |
| 25 | This event is used to trace dlclose calls. The base address of the shared | |
| 26 | object that got closed is recorded in the baddr-field. | |
| 27 | .PP | |
