NAME

     traps - command used to measure system-wide traps


SYNOPSIS

     traps args	app params


DESCRIPTION

     The traps command measures	system-wide traps over the entire
     run  of  an application. If the application is the	only load
     on	the system, then all the traps can be attributed to  that
     one application.  If there	are multiple applications running
     on	the system, then it is not possible to attribute traps to
     a specific	one of them.

     The traps command is a wrapper  for  trapstat.  Hence  traps
     must be run with the necessary privileges.


OPTIONS

     The following options are supported:

     -g	file
	  If gnuplot is	available on the  path,	 then  produce	a
	  graph	 showing the trap activity over	the entire run of
	  the application.

     -h	  Print	help information

     -o	file
	  Output the results of	the script  to	the  given  file,
	  rather than to stdout.

     -V	  Print	version	information

     -v	  Generate debug output

     The output	of the traps command will be the  average  number
     of	traps per second for the various traps.
