Description
The fstracelslog command reports whether the "cmfx" log is available for use. If the -long argument is
included, the output reports the log's defined size, and whether that amount of space is currently
allocated in kernel memory or not.
To change the "cmfx" trace log's size, use the fstracesetlog command. To display or set whether space is
allocated for it in kernel memory, use the fstracelsset or fstracesetset command to display or set the
state of the corresponding "cm" event set, respectively.
Examples
The following example uses the -long flag to display information about the "cmfx" log:
# fstrace lslog -log cmfx -long
Available logs:
cmfx : 60 kbytes (allocated)
Name
fstrace_lslog - Displays information about a log
Options
-set <setname>+
Names the event set for which to display information about the corresponding trace log. The only
acceptable value is "cm" (for which the associated trace log is "cmfx"). Provide either this argument
or the -log argument, or omit both to display information about the "cmfx" log by default.
-log <logname>
Names the trace log about which to report. The only acceptable value is "cmfx". Provide either this
argument or the -set argument, or omit both to report on the "cmfx" log by default.
-long
Reports the defined size of the log in kilobyte units and whether that amount of space is currently
allocated in kernel memory.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
Output
By default, the fstracelslog command displays only the name of the available log, "cmfx", in the
following format:
Available logs:
cmfx
When the -long flag is included, the output also reports the defined size of the log in kilobytes, and
whether or not that amount of space is currently allocated in kernel memory, in the following format:
Available logs:
cmfx : <log_size> kbytes (allocated | unallocated)
The "allocated" state indicates that the indicated number of kilobytes is reserved for the "cmfx" trace
log in kernel memory. The "cm" event set's state is either "active" or "inactive", as reported by the
fstracelsset command, and set by the fstracesetset command's -active or -inactive flags respectively.
The "unallocated" state indicates that no kernel memory is currently reserved for the "cmfx" trace log.
The cm event set's state is "dormant", as reported by the fstracelsset command and set by the fstracesetset command's -dormant flag. If the event set's state is later changed to active or inactive, the
number of kilobytes indicated as <log_size> are again allocated in kernel memory.
Privilege Required
The issuer must be logged in as the local superuser "root".
