NAME

     smbdiagnose -- gather information to aid in diagnosing SMB file sharing issues

SYNOPSIS

     smbdiagnose -h
     smbdiagnose [-f path] [-s]

DESCRIPTION

     The smbdiagnose tool gathers system information and network traffic in order to assist Apple when investigating issues related to SMB file
     sharing.  A great deal of information is harvested, spanning system state, system configuration, and network traffic related to SMB file
     sharing.

   What smbdiagnose Collects:
	   o   A network packet trace of SMB file sharing traffic that occurs during the time the tool is run.	This packet trace may include file
	       names and file data.  It may also include the authentication exchange used to log into the SMB server.
	   o   Enhanced debug logs for the SMB server process.
	   o   If the -s option is specified, the default set of information collected by sysdiagnose(1).

   What smbdiagnose Doesn't Collect:
	   o   No authentication credentials are harvested from the system

OPTIONS

     -h      Print full usage.
     -f path Write the diagnostic to the specified path.  The default is ``~/Desktop''.
     -s      Collect sysdiagnose(1) information.  The default is not to collect sysdiagnose(1) information.

EXIT STATUS

     smbdiagnose exits with status 0 if there were no internal errors encountered during the diagnostic, or >0 when an error unrelated to external
     state occurs or unusable input is provided by the user.

NAME

     sysdiagnose -- gathers system-wide diagnostic information helpful in investigating system performance issues.

SYNOPSIS

     sysdiagnose -h
     sysdiagnose [-f results_directory] [-t] [-q] [-b] [process_name | pid]

DESCRIPTION

     sysdiagnose tool gathers system diagnostic information helpful in investigating system performance issues. A great deal of information is
     harvested, spanning system state and configuration.  sysdiagnose needs to be run as root.	sysdiagnose can be triggered upon pressing a spe-
     cial key chord; this is currently Control-Option-Command-Shift-Period.

   What sysdiagnose Collects:
	   o   A spindump of the system
	   o   Several seconds of fs_usage ouput
	   o   Several seconds of top output
	   o   Data about kernel zones
	   o   Status of loaded kernel extensions
	   o   Resident memory usage of user processes
	   o   All system logs, kernel logs, opendirectory log, windowserver log, and log of power management events
	   o   A System Profiler report
	   o   All spin and crash reports
	   o   Disk usage information
	   o   I/O Kit registry information
	   o   Network status
	   o   If a specific process is supplied as an argument: list of malloc-allocated buffers in the process's heap is collected
	   o   If a specific process is supplied as an argument: data about unreferenced malloc buffers in the process's memory is collected
	   o   If a specific process is supplied as an argument: data about the virtual memory regions allocated in the process

OPTIONS

     -h       Print full usage.

     -f results_directory
	      Specify the directory where the results will be stored. The default results directory is /var/tmp.

     -q       Skips calling footprint.

     -t       Enable "Thorough Mode". See below.

     -b       Do not show the resulting archive in a Finder window upon completion.

     process_name | pid
	      If a single process appears to be slowing down the system, passing in the process name or ID as the argument gathers additional
	      process-specific diagnostic data.

THOROUGH MODE

     sysdiagnose can be run in a "Thorough Mode" in which standard data is gathered as well as a kernel trace. Enabling "Thorough Mode" for the
     command-line sysdiagnose and key-chord sysdiagnose are independent and are performed as follows:

     For "Thorough Mode" in the command-line sysdiagnose use the "-t" flag.

     To enable "Thorough Mode" for special key-chord launches of sysdiagnose execute "touch /var/tmp/.thoroughsysdiagnose"

     To disable "Thorough Mode" for special key-chord launches of sysdiagnose execute "rm /var/tmp/.thoroughsysdiagnose"

   Note:
     Gathering the kernel trace can increase the size of sysdiagnose output by hundreds of MB as well as increase the time for sysdiagnose to com-
     plete.

EXIT STATUS

     sysdiagnose exits with status 0 if there were no internal errors encountered during the diagnostic, or >0 when an error unrelated to external
     state occurs or unusable input is provided by the user.
