#
# lastwords - print last few syscalls for dying processes.
#             Written using DTrace (Solaris 10 3/05).
#
# 20-Apr-2006, ver 0.71         (check for newer versions)
#
# This prints the last few system calls for processes matching
# the given name, when they exit. This makes use of a ring buffer
# so that the impact on the system is minimised.
#
# USAGE: lastwords command
#    eg,
#        lastwords netscape
#
# FIELDS:
#           TIME     Time of syscall return, ns
#           PID      Process ID
#           EXEC     Process name (execname)
#           SYSCALL  System call
#           RETURN   Return value for system call
#           ERR      errno for system call
#
# BASED ON: /usr/demo/dtrace/ring.d
