51 .Sh DESCRIPTION
52 .Nm Trpt
53 interrogates the buffer of
54 .Tn TCP
55 trace records created
56 when a socket is marked for
57 .Dq debugging
58 (see
59 .Xr setsockopt 2 ) ,
60 and prints a readable description of these records.
61 When no options are supplied,
62 .Nm trpt
63 prints all the trace records found in the system
64 grouped according to
65 .Tn TCP
66 connection protocol control
67 block
68 .Pq Tn PCB .
69 The following options may be used to
70 alter this behavior.
71 .Bl -tag -width Ds
72 .It Fl a
73 In addition to the normal output,
74 print the values of the source and destination
75 addresses for each packet recorded.
76 .It Fl f
77 Follow the trace as it occurs, waiting a short time for additional records
78 each time the end of the log is reached.
79 .It Fl j
80 Just give a list of the protocol control block
81 addresses for which there are trace records.
82 .It Fl p
83 Show only trace records associated with the protocol
84 control block at the given address
85 .Ar hex-address .
86 .It Fl s
87 In addition to the normal output,
88 print a detailed description of the packet
89 sequencing information.
90 .It Fl t
91 in addition to the normal output,
92 print the values for all timers at each
93 point in the trace.
94 .El
95 .Pp
96 The recommended use of
97 .Nm trpt
98 is as follows.
99 Isolate the problem and enable debugging on the
100 socket(s) involved in the connection.
101 Find the address of the protocol control blocks
102 associated with the sockets using the
103 .Fl A
104 option to
105 .Xr netstat 1 .
106 Then run
107 .Nm trpt
108 with the
109 .Fl p
110 option, supplying the associated
111 protocol control block addresses.
112 The
113 .Fl f
114 option can be used to follow the trace log once the trace is located.
115 If there are
116 many sockets using the debugging option, the
117 .Fl j
118 option may be useful in checking to see if
119 any trace records are present for the socket in
120 question.
121 .Pp
122 If debugging is being performed on a system or
123 core file other than the default, the last two
124 arguments may be used to supplant the defaults.

138 contain the proper symbols to find the trace buffer;

142 Should also print the data for each input or output,
143 but this is not saved in the race record.

145 The output format is inscrutable and should be described
146 here.
