 A more complex example that traces the execution of a sleep operation  ## A more complex example
   
   The following script traces the execution of a sleep operation
 in the kernel. Put it in sleep.d:  in the kernel. Put it in sleep.d:
           
     #pragma D option flowindent      #pragma D option flowindent
       
     fbt::syscall:entry      syscall::nanosleep:entry
     /execname == "sleep" && guard++ == 0/      /execname == "sleep" && guard++ == 0/
     {      {
             self->traceme = 1;              self->traceme = 1;
             printf("fd: %d", arg0);  
     }      }
       
     fbt::syscall:entry /self->traceme/ {}      fbt:::
           /self->traceme/
     fbt::syscall:return      {}
   
       syscall::nanosleep:return
     /self->traceme/      /self->traceme/
     {      {
             self->traceme = 0;              self->traceme = 0;
             exit(0);              exit(0);
     }      }
       
   
 Start the script running (dtrace -s sleep.d) and then execute a "sleep 2" in another shell.   Start the script running:
   
       dtrace -s sleep.d
   
   This will take a while as the script instruments every function in the
   kernel. When it's ready, it will print a message like "dtrace: script
   'sleep.d' matched 59268 probes".  Then execute a "sleep 2" in another
   shell.
   
   ## Tools included in base
   
   Starting with NetBSD-8, on builds where `MKDTRACE=yes` is set, scripts from
   [Brendan Gregg's DTrace toolkit](https://github.com/opendtrace/toolkit/) are installed in base as standard.
   
   At present, the following scripts are installed in `/usr/sbin`: 
   
   - `dtruss` - An implementation of the truss utility in DTrace which traces the system calls
   made by a process
   - `execsnoop` - snoop on execution of processes as they occur
   - `opensnoop` - snoop on openning of files as they occur
   - `procsystime` -  print process system call time details.
