When no options are supplied, .Nm prints all the trace records found in the system grouped according to .Tn TCP connection protocol control block .Pq Tn PCB . .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl a In addition to the normal output, print the values of the source and destination addresses for each packet recorded. .It Fl f Follow the trace as it occurs, waiting a short time for additional records each time the end of the log is reached. .It Fl j Just give a list of the protocol control block addresses for which there are trace records. .It Fl M Ar core Extract values associated with the name list from .Pa core instead of the running kernel. .It Fl N Ar system Extract the name list from .Pa system instead of the running kernel. .It Fl p Ar hex-address Show only trace records associated with the protocol control block at the given address .Ar hex-address . .It Fl s In addition to the normal output, print a detailed description of the packet sequencing information. .It Fl t In addition to the normal output, print the values for all timers at each point in the trace. .El .Pp The recommended use of .Nm is as follows. Isolate the problem and enable debugging on the socket(s) involved in the connection. Find the address of the protocol control blocks associated with the sockets using the .Fl A option to .Xr netstat 1 . Then run .Nm with the .Fl p option, supplying the associated protocol control block addresses. The .Fl f option can be used to follow the trace log once the trace is located. If there are many sockets using the debugging option, the .Fl j option may be useful in checking to see if any trace records are present for the socket in question. .Sh DIAGNOSTICS .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Sy no namelist When the system image doesn't contain the proper symbols to find the trace buffer; others which should be self explanatory. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr netstat 1 , .Xr setsockopt 2 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command appeared in .Bx 4.2 . .Sh BUGS Should also print the data for each input or output, but this is not saved in the trace record. .Pp The output format is inscrutable and should be described here.
