Thanks Adam.

Is there known list of other special characters which needs to be handled this way.

Thanks

Hey Vasanth,

Correct; I should have mentioned that use of the globbing character means that 
you could match other modules. As you say, using a predicate will protect you 
against erroneous matches.

That works.
 Does this means  the probe will match for  not just "646%8859.so", but   also for  other module, like 
"646x8859.so" or  "646a8859.so" etc.  Do I need to have the additional check for  the specific 
module in the predicate ( /probemod == "646%8859.so"/ )

Thanks

Hey Vasanth,

You might try something like this:

pid1061:646?8859.so::entry
{
 ...
}

You might then his a problem in the pid provider itself; let me know
and we can work from there.

Hi,

      Is there a escape charater to escape the appeareance of special
characters like '%'   appearing as a part of probemode or probefunc.

For example,  I  the following  sample d-trace script which fails to compile
because of  the special character '%'.This is part of the libraryname (
/usr/lib/iconv/646%8859.so )

pid1061:646%8859.so::entry
{
  printf("%s|%d|%s|%s\n",execname,pid,probemod,probefunc);
}

When tried to run it fails with error "dtrace: failed to compile script
/tmp/d-scripts/runscan_1061.d: line 8: syntax error near "%"

I tried using "\" to escape "%". But that didn't help.  How we handle such
cases?

Also, on an another note, how do we obtain the  fullpath of the library
inside a d-script.  The "probemod"   by default retuurns the module name
without the path. (libxyz.so)

Thanks
Vasanth
