NAME

nettrstop − halt link level tracing

SYNOPSIS

/usr/bin/nettrstop [ -p ]

DESCRIPTION

Nettrstop stops network tracing to the kernel buffer.  Any tracing to a file also stops.  The kernel buffer is deallocated.  If you have not saved trace packets to a file by executing either of the commands, nettrstart -f filename or nettrdump > filename, you will lose all trace information when nettrstop deletes the contents of the kernel buffer. 

Only the super-user may use this command. 

Parameters

−p Link level tracing halts, but the kernel buffer is preserved.  Nettrdump can then be used to extract data from the kernel.  Nettrstop must be executed again without the -p option to deallocate the kernel buffer and allow tracing to be restarted.  Default: Kernel buffer is deallocated. 

DIAGNOSTICS

Usage: nettrstop [ -p ]
Illegal invocation of nettrstop
