This example evaluates kernel builds and displays a string that describes the portion of the source tree being built by this task make. Display the portion of the source being built to aid in the per-source-directory analysis.

The key points for this example include the following:

  • To aggregate the time for a make, which could include many processes, each make is initiated as a task. Child make processes are created as different tasks. To aggregate across the makefile tree, the parent-child task relationship must be identified.

  • Add a tag with this information to the task's exacct file. Add a current working directory string that describes the portion of the source tree being built by this task make.

    ea_set_item(&cwd, EXT_STRING | EXC_LOCAL | MY_CWD, 
                                   cwdbuf, strlen(cwdbuf));

  ...
/* Omit return value checking and error processing */
/* to keep code sample short */
ptid = gettaskid();	/* Save "parent" task-id */
tid = settaskid(getprojid(), TASK_NORMAL);	/* Create new task */

/* Set data for item objects ptskid and cwd */
ea_set_item(&ptskid, EXT_UINT32 | EXC_LOCAL | MY_PTID, &ptid, 0);
ea_set_item(&cwd, EXT_STRING | EXC_LOCAL | MY_CWD, cwdbuf, strlen(cwdbuf));

/* Set grp object and attach ptskid and cwd to grp */
ea_set_group(&grp, EXT_GROUP | EXC_LOCAL |  EXD_GROUP_HEADER);
ea_attach_to_group(&grp, &ptskid);
ea_attach_to_group(&grp, &cwd);

/* Pack the object and put it back into the accounting stream */
ea_buflen = ea_pack_object(&grp, ea_buf, sizeof(ea_buf));
putacct(P_TASKID, tid, ea_buf, ea_buflen, EP_EXACCT_OBJECT);

Example 3-3 Reading and Displaying the Contents of a System exacct File

This example shows how to read and display a system exacct file for a process or a task.

The key points for this example include the following:

  • Call ea_get_object() to get the next object in the file. Call ea_get_object() in a loop until EOF enables a complete traversal of the exacct file.

  • catalog_name() uses the catalog_item structure to convert a Solaris catalog's type ID to a meaningful string that describes the content of the object's data. The type ID is obtained by masking the lowest 24 bits, or 3 bytes.

    switch(o->eo_catalog & EXT_TYPE_MASK) {
      case EXT_UINT8:
          printf(" 8: %u", o->eo_item.ei_uint8);
          break;
      case EXT_UINT16:
      ...
    }

  • The upper 4 bits of TYPE_MASK are used to find out the data type to print the object's actual data.

  • disp_group() takes a pointer to a group object and the number of objects in the group. For each object in the group, disp_group() calls disp_obj() and recursively calls disp_group() if the object is a group object.

/* Omit return value checking and error processing */
/* to keep code sample short */
main(int argc, char *argv)
{
  ea_file_t ef;
  ea_object_t scratch;
  char *fname;
		
  fname = argv[1];
  ea_open(&ef, fname, NULL,  EO_NO_VALID_HDR, O_RDONLY, 0);
  bzero(&scratch, sizeof (ea_object_t));
  while (ea_get_object(&ef, &scratch)  != -1) {
	     disp_obj(&scratch);
	     if (scratch.eo_type == EO_GROUP)
	         disp_group(&ef, scratch.eo_group.eg_nobjs);
	     bzero(&scratch, sizeof (ea_object_t));
  }
  ea_close(&ef);
}

 }
 static void disp_group(ea_file_t *ef, uint_t nobjs)
 {
	 for (i = 0; i < nobjs; i++) {
