NAME

timerfires — analyze timers as they fire

SYNOPSIS

timerfires [-s] [-v] [-g] [-t timeout-secs] -a | -p pid | -n process-name

The timerfires utility lists timers as they fire.

The options are as follows:

-s: Show call stacks for "sleep"-type timers.
-v: Show verbose output where applicable (e.g., additional details for CoreFoundation timers).
-g: Aggregate timer output, showing counts instead of individual timer fires.
-t timeout-secs: Run only for timeout-secs seconds; then exit.
-a: Analyze all timers without filtering by process. It is an error to specify -a with either -p or -n.
-p pid: Analyze only timers from the process with process ID pid. It is an error to specify -p with either -a or -n.
-n process-name: Analyze only timers from processes with name process-name. It is an error to specify -n with either -a or -p.

timerfires -n MyApp -s -t 10

timerfires will run for ten seconds, displaying timer data for all instances of processes named "MyApp", including stacks.
