#
# dcsnoop   Trace directory entry cache (dcache) lookups.
#           For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF. Embedded C.
#
# USAGE: dcsnoop [-h] [-a]
#
# By default, this traces every failed dcache lookup, and shows the process
# performing the lookup and the filename requested. A -a option can be used
# to show all lookups, not just failed ones.
#
# This uses kernel dynamic tracing of the d_lookup() function, and will need
# to be modified to match kernel changes.
#
# Also see dcstat(8), for per-second summaries.
