.SH NAME
kmtrace \- a TDE memory leak tracer
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B kmtrace
[ \fIgeneric-options\fP ]
[ \fB\-x, \-\-exclude\fP \fIfile\fP ]
[ \fB\-e, \-\-exe\fP \fIfile\fP ]
[ \fB\-t, \-\-tree\fP \fIfile\fP
[ \fB\-\-th, \-\-treethreshold\fP \fIvalue\fP ]
[ \fB\-\-td, \-\-treedepth\fP \fIvalue\fP ]]
[ \fItrace-log\fP ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBKMtrace\fP is a TDE tool to assist with malloc debugging using
glibc's "mtrace" functionality. Unfortunately the mtrace that is part of
current (9/9/2000) glibc versions only logs the return-address of the
malloc/free call. The library included with KMtrace
logs a complete backtrace upon malloc/free.
.PP
KMtrace will investigate the trace log specified on the command line,
or \fIktrace.out\fP if no trace log is specified.
.PP
This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit.
.SH OPTIONS
Below are the kmtrace-specific options.
For a full summary of options, run \fIkmtrace \-\-help\fP.
.TP
\fB\-x, \-\-exclude\fP \fIfile\fP
File containing symbols to exclude from output.
.TP
\fB\-e, \-\-exe\fP \fIfile\fP
Executable to use for looking up unknown symbols.
.TP
\fB\-t, \-\-tree\fP \fIfile\fP
Write a tree of the allocations to the given file.
.TP
\fB\-\-th, \-\-treethreshold\fP \fIvalue\fP
When writing the allocations tree, hide subtrees allocating less than the
given memory amount.
.TP
\fB\-\-td, \-\-treedepth\fP \fIvalue\fP
When writing the allocations tree, hide subtrees that are deeper than the
specified depth.

Much more extensive documentation can be found in
\fI/usr/share/doc/kmtrace/README\fP.
