priclass.d(1m)                                  USER COMMANDS                                 priclass.d(1m)



NAME
       priclass.d - priority distribution by scheduling class. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
       priclass.d

DESCRIPTION
       This is a simple DTrace script that samples at 1000 Hz the current thread's scheduling class and pri-ority. priority.
       ority. A distribution plot is printed.

       With priorities, the higher the priority the better chance the thread has of being scheduled.

       This idea came from the script /usr/demo/dtrace/pri.d, which produces  similar  output  for  priority
       changes, not samples.

       Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.

EXAMPLES
       This samples until Ctrl-C is hit.
              # priclass.d


FIELDS
       value  process priority

       count  number of samples of at least this priority

BASED ON
       /usr/demo/dtrace/pri.d
