Options

file filename—Use the specified file to receive the output of the tracing operation. Enclose the name within quotation marks. All files are placed in the directory /var/log.

files number—(Optional) Use the specified maximum number of trace files. When a trace file named trace-file reaches its maximum size, it is renamed trace-file.0, then trace-file.1, and so on, until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten.

  • Range: 2 through 1000 files

  • Default: 2 files

If you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size with the size option.

no-world-readable—(Optional) Disallow any user to read the log file.

size size—(Optional) Use the specified maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). When a trace file named trace-file reaches this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When the trace-file again reaches its maximum size, trace-file.0 is renamed trace-file.1 and trace-file is renamed trace-file.0. This renaming scheme continues until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten.

  • Syntax: xk to specify KB, xm to specify MB, or xg to specify GB

  • Range: 10,240 through 1,073,741,824 or the maximum file size supported on your system
