The following is a demonstration of the pathopens.d script, Here we run it for a few seconds then hit Ctrl-C, # pathopens.d Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C COUNT PATHNAME 1 /lib/libcmd.so.1 1 /export/home/root/DTrace/Dexplorer/dexplorer 1 /lib/libmd5.so.1 1 /lib/libaio.so.1 1 /lib/librt.so.1 1 /etc/security/prof_attr 1 /etc/mnttab 2 /devices/pseudo/devinfo@0:devinfo 2 /dev/kstat 2 /lib/libnvpair.so.1 2 /lib/libkstat.so.1 2 /lib/libdevinfo.so.1 2 /lib/libnsl.so.1 4 /lib/libc.so.1 4 /var/ld/ld.config 8 /export/home/brendan/Utils_solx86/setiathome-3.08.i386-pc-solaris2.6/outfile.sah In the above output, many of the files would have been opened using absolute pathnames. However the "dexplorer" file was opened using a relative pathname - and the pathopens.d script has correctly printed the full path. The above shows that the outfile.sah file was opened successfully 8 times.
