OS/2 API Trace v. 2.45.40 (27/10/2010, Dave Blaschke) | Readme/What's new |
Operating System/2 API Trace

Description : Enables, customizes, controls and summarizes the tracing of
OS/2 APIs imported by a 16-bit or 32-bit executable file
without affecting its source code or requiring recompiling
or relinking.
The first feat, trace enabling, is accomplished by
processing each entry in the table of strings within the
executable file that contains the names of the imported
DLLs. If the entry represents one of the supported OS/2
DLLs and the user requested enablement of API tracing for
this DLL, the entry is replaced with the name of the
appropriate trace DLL. When the executable file is
invoked, the trace DLL intercepts API calls to its
corresponding OS/2 DLL, logs API input information, invokes
the API, and logs API output information. If the entry
represents one of the trace DLLs and the user requested
disablement of API tracing for this DLL, the entry is
replaced with the name of the supported OS/2 DLL. When
finished, the updated table of strings is written to the
executable file.
NOTE: All private APIs are simply forwarded to the
corresponding OS/2 DLL with no intervention from the trace
DLL.
The user can request enablement of API tracing by
specifying the -ON option or can request disablement of API
tracing by specifying the -OFF option. The user can
request enablement or disablement of API tracing for one or
more of the supported DLLs individually by specifying each
DLL's name as an option, or can request enablement or
disablement of API tracing for all supported DLLs by
specifying the -ALL option. The user can request to
preserve the executable file's date and time stamp by
specifying the -P option.
NOTE: Trace enablement alters the contents of the table of
strings within the executable file that contains the names
of the imported DLLs. Although this action does not affect
the functionality of the executable, it does affect its
date and time stamp unless the -P option is specified.
The second feat, trace customizing, is accomplished by
storing the state of the trace customization options in the
operating system's user profile, OS2.INI. The state of
these options can then be retrieved by the trace DLLs when
a trace-enabled executable commences running.
The user can request to log all trace information to an
alternative directory by specifying the -A s option, where
s is the fully qualified drive and path of the directory.
The user can request to log all trace information to the
default directory (same directory as the .EXE/.COM file) by
specifying the -A NONE option. The user can request to
log a maximum number of bytes of level 3 trace information
from buffers by specifying the -B n option, where n is a
decimal number between 16 and 65536 (64KB), inclusive, and
is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 16. The decimal
number can include the 'K' (kilobyte) suffix, in which case
the maximum possible value is 64K. The user can request
to log all level 3 trace information from buffers by
specifying the -B ALL option. The user can request to
enable tracing control (the -PAUSE and -RESUME options) by
specifying the -C ON option. The user can request to
disable tracing control by specifying the -C OFF option.
NOTE: When tracing control is enabled, a thread is created
within the application being traced for the sole purpose of
monitoring pause and resume requests. If this additional
thread is not desired for performance or other reasons,
tracing control should be disabled.
The user can request to trace specific groups of APIs from
DOSCALLS.DLL by specifying the -D g option, where g is ALL
(request all API groups), one or more of the following
delimited by commas (request only specific API groups), or
ALL and one or more of the following each prefixed by a
"NO" and delimited by commas (request all except specific
API groups):
DEV indicates trace device API group
FILE indicates trace file API group
MEM indicates trace memory API group
MISC indicates trace miscellaneous API group
MOD indicates trace module API group
MVDM indicates trace MVDM API group
NLS indicates trace national language support API group
PIPE indicates trace pipe API group
PRF indicates trace performance API group
PROC indicates trace process and thread API group
RES indicates trace resource API group
SEM indicates trace semaphore API group
SES indicates trace session API group
TIME indicates trace date/time and timer API group
XCPT indicates trace exception API group
MSG indicates trace message API group
INFO indicates trace InfoSeg API group
SIG indicates trace signal API group
SMP indicates trace SMP API group
PROF indicates trace DosProfile
The user can request to enable logging of EBCDIC
translation of character buffers by specifying the -E ON
option. The user can request to disable logging of EBCDIC
translation of character buffers by specifying the -E OFF
option.
NOTE: Logging of ASCII translation of character buffers
occurs regardless of the state of the -E option.
The user can request to log a maximum number of bytes of
trace information before log file wrapping (overwriting
from the beginning) occurs by specifying the -F n option,
where n is a decimal number between 4096 (4KB) and 67108864
(64MB), inclusive, and is rounded up to the nearest
multiple of 4096. The decimal number can include the 'K'
(kilobyte) suffix, in which case the maximum possible value
is 65536K, or the 'M' (megabyte) suffix, in which case the
maximum possible value is 64M. The user can request to log
all trace information without log file wrapping by
specifying the -F ALL option.
NOTE: -F ALL appends trace information to the end of any
preexisting trace information file, while -F n erases the
contents of any preexisting trace information file.
NOTE: Setting the log file wrapping length to anything
other than ALL will further impact the performance of the
application being traced, as log file wrapping requires the
log file to be unbuffered, meaning that trace information
cannot be buffered in a memory cache before being written
to disk.
The user can request to trace specific groups of APIs from
PMGPI.DLL by specifying the -G g option, where g is ALL
(request all API groups), one or more of the following
delimited by commas (request only specific API groups), or
ALL and one or more of the following each prefixed by a
"NO" and delimited by commas (request all except specific
API groups):
BIT indicates trace bitmap API group
CORR indicates trace correlation API group
CTRL indicates trace control API group
DEF indicates trace defaults API group
EDIT indicates trace segment editing API group
LCID indicates trace LCID API group
LCT indicates trace logical color table API group
META indicates trace metafile API group
PATH indicates trace path API group
POLY indicates trace polygon API group
PRIM indicates trace primitive API group
RGN indicates trace region API group
SEG indicates trace segment API group
TRAN indicates trace transform API group
DEV indicates trace device API group
The user can request to enable interception of dynamic API
calls by specifying the -I ON option. The user can request
to disable intercaption of dynamic API calls by specifying
the -I OFF option. The user can request to log specific
levels of trace information by specifying the -L n option,
where n is one of the
following:
1 indicates log API entry/exit information
2 indicates log API parameters
3 indicates log API parameter contents
The user can request to enable time stamping of API entries
and exits by specifying the -T ON option. The user can
request to disable time stamping of API entries and exits
by specifying the -T OFF option.
NOTE: API entry time stamps reflect entry into the trace
API, not entry into the actual OS/2 API.
The user can request to have a user-provided procedure
(user hook) called by specifying the -U s option, where s
is of the format DLLNAME.HOOKNAME and HOOKNAME is exported
from DLLNAME by name. A user hook has the following
syntax:
PSZ APIENTRY UserHook( ULONG ulReason
, PSZ pszAPIName
, PVOID pAPIParms
, PVOID pAPIRC
);
A user hook is called under the following circumstances:
Initialization - ulReason = 0
pszAPIName = pAPIParms = pAPIRC = NULL
Termination - ulReason = 1
pszAPIName = pAPIParms = pAPIRC = NULL
API Entry - ulReason = 2
pszAPIName = API name
pAPIParms = Pointer to parameters or
NULL if none
pAPIRC = NULL
API Exit - ulReason = 3
pszAPIName = API name
pAPIParms = Pointer to parameters or
NULL if none
pAPIRC = Pointer to return code or NULL
if none
A user hook can return a pointer to a string that will be
written to the trace information file. The user can
request to not have a user hook called by specifying the -U
NONE option.
NOTE: Because a user hook is a 32-bit procedure, all
parameters are 32-bit aligned, even if they are parameters
to a 16-bit API. For example, when examining a USHORT
parameter being passed to a 16-bit API, the high word may
not necessarily be zero and should be ignored.
NOTE: User hooks are only called for API entries and exits
if the API is being traced AND tracing is not paused.
NOTE: User hooks do not need to be reentrant.
The user can request to trace specific groups of APIs from
PMWIN.DLL by specifying the -W g option, where g is ALL
(request all API groups), one or more of the following
delimited by commas (request only specific API groups), or
ALL and one or more of the following each prefixed by a
"NO" and delimited by commas (request all except specific
API groups):
ACCL indicates trace accelerator API group
ATOM indicates trace atom API group
CLIP indicates trace clipboard API group
CTRY indicates trace country API group
CUR indicates trace cursor API group
DDE indicates trace DDE API group
DESK indicates trace desktop API group
DLG indicates trace dialog API group
DWIN indicates trace WinDefWindowProc
ERR indicates trace error API group
FRAM indicates trace frame API group
HOOK indicates trace hook API group
INPT indicates trace input API group
LOAD indicates trace load API group
MENU indicates trace menu API group
MSG indicates trace message API group (does not include
MSGL group)
MSGL indicates trace WinDispatchMsg and WinGetMsg
PAL indicates trace palette API group
PTR indicates trace pointer API group
RECT indicates trace rectangle API group
SYS indicates trace system API group
THK indicates trace thunk API group
TIME indicates trace time API group
TREC indicates trace track rectangle API group
WIN indicates trace window API group (does not include
DWIN group)
ENV indicates trace WinCatch and WinThrow
HEAP indicates trace heap API group
SEI indicates trace set error info API group
NOTE: DWIN and MSGL are separated from WIN and MSG because
these APIs, when being traced, can severely impact the
performance of the trace-enabled executable.
The user can request to display the current state of the
trace customization options stored in OS2.INI by specifying
the -Q option.
NOTE: No changes are made to the state of the trace
customization options stored in OS2.INI if the -Q option is
specified, even if other customization options are present
on the command line.
The third feat, trace controlling, is accomplished by
creating a thread within the application being traced that
awaits pause and resume requests. When such a request
arrives the thread awakens, pauses or resumes tracing, and
goes back to sleep awaiting the next request.
The user can request to pause tracing by specifying the
-PAUSE option. The user can request to resume tracing by
specifying the -RESUME option.
NOTE: In order for the -PAUSE and -RESUME options to be
effective on a trace-enabled executable, tracing control
must be enabled by specifying the -C ON option before the
executable commences running.
NOTE: A trace-enabled executable can be started while
tracing is paused, as the state of the trace control option
is stored in OS2.INI and retrieved by the trace DLLs when
the executable commences running.
The fourth feat, trace summarizing, is accomplished by
parsing the trace information file generated by a
trace-enabled executable and recording the number of API
entries and exits logged in the file. When finished, the
summary statistics are displayed in alphabetical order to
standard output.
The user can request to summarize the contents of a trace
information file by specifying the -S option.
The user can request helping information by specifying the
-?, -H, or -HELP option.
OS/2 API Trace works on all 32-bit versions of OS/2:
| Major | Minor
Name | Version | Version
------------------------------------+---------+---------
OS/2 Version 2.0x | 20 | 0x
OS/2 Version 2.1x | 20 | 1x
OS/2 Warp Version 3 | 20 | 30
OS/2 Warp Version 4 | 20 | 40
OS/2 Warp Server for e-business | 20 | 45
OS/2 Warp Connect (PowerPC Edition) | 30 | 00
where major and minor versions are the corresponding values
returned from DosQuerySysInfo. Note that the ELF versions
of the executables and trace DLLs are required to run on
OS/2 Warp Connect (PowerPC Edition).
Installation : Place the executable, OS2TRACE.EXE, in a directory along
the PATH environment variable, and place the trace DLLs,
T_*.DLL, in a directory along the system LIBPATH. If a
user hook is provided, the DLL that it resides in must also
be placed along the system LIBPATH.

Scenario : The following example shows a typical scenario where the
several personalities of OS2TRACE can be used in conjuction
to produce a summary of NLS APIs used by TEST.EXE:
OS2TRACE -D NLS -L 1
OS2TRACE -ON -DOSCALLS -NLS TEST.EXE
TEST
OS2TRACE -OFF -DOSCALLS -NLS TEST.EXE
OS2TRACE -S TEST.TRC > TEST.NLS

Trace summarizer -
If the user requests summarization of the contents of a
trace information file (-S option), information similar to
the following is displayed:
Used APIs:
APINAME (12 Pass, 4 Fail, 1 Indeterminate, 2 No Return)
Each line contains the name of the used API, the number of
successful invocations, if any, the number of unsuccessful
invocations, if any, the number of indeterminate
invocations, if any, and the number of API entries without
matching exits (indicated by "No Return"), if any. It
should be noted that these APIs are listed in alphabetical
order.
NOTE: A warning message is issued if summarization
information may not be accurate due to lost API
entries/exits, pausing/resuming trace, or file wrapping.
Trace-enabled executable -
All levels of information, from the trace-enabled .EXE/.COM
and/or any trace-enabled .DLLs that are attached to the
.EXE/.COM, are logged to a text file with a file name that
matches the .EXE/.COM file name and an extension of .TRC.
This trace information file resides in the same directory
as the .EXE/.COM file or the alternative directory, if one
exists. If another instance of the same .EXE/.COM is
already running or the text file is already open in the
alternative directory, the file name of the text file is
changed to PROC followed by the hexadecimal process
identifier (i.e. PROC003A.TRC). If this occurs, a warning
message is issued.
NOTE: If a REXX program loads any trace-enabled .DLLs, all
trace information is logged to CMD.TRC in the same
directory as the CMD.EXE executable that loaded the REXX
program or the alternative directory, if one exists.
If the user requests level 1 information, data similar to
the following is logged for each API call:
003A 0001 | Dos32CreateQueue Entry
003A 0001 | Dos32CreateQueue Exit
PASS | Return code: 0
If the user requests level 2 information, data similar to
the following is logged for each API call:
003A 0001 | Dos32CreateQueue Entry
| Parameter 1: PHQUEUE = 0x00028BE8
| Parameter 2: ULONG = 0x00000002
| Parameter 3: PSZ = 0x000200A4
003A 0001 | Dos32CreateQueue Exit
PASS | Return code: 0
| Parameter 1: PHQUEUE = 0x00028BE8
If the user requests level 3 information, data similar to
to the following is logged for each API call:
003A 0001 | Dos32CreateQueue Entry, Return Address =...
| Parameter 1: PHQUEUE = 0x00028BE8
| Parameter 2: ULONG = 0x00000002
| Parameter 3: PSZ = 0x000200A4 ["\QUEUES\..."]
003A 0001 | Dos32CreateQueue Exit
PASS | Return code: 0 (NO_ERROR)
| Parameter 1: PHQUEUE = 0x00028BE8 [0x00000007]
The first number on both the API entry and exit lines is
the hexadecimal process identifier (PID) of the executable.
The second number is the hexadecimal thread identifier
(TID) of the thread within the executable that invoked the
API.
If the user requests level 3 information and a character,
ASCIIZ string, integer, color, FIXED, POINTL, RECTL,
WPOINT, or user-defined buffer is larger than the maximum
specified by the -B n option, the data is truncated and
-- More -- is logged.
If log file wrapping occurs, information similar to the
following is logged after the executable's stopping time,
OS2TRACE banner, and executable's starting time:
< Trace information lost due to log file wrapping n times >
If the length of an API's entry/exit information is greater
than the log file wrapping length, information similar to
the following is logged in lieu of the entry/exit:
< API entry/exit information lost >
If interception of dynamic API calls is enabled,
information similar to the following is logged after each
Dos16GetProcAddr and/or Dos32QueryProcAddr call that loads
an API within a supported DLL that is enabled for tracing:
< Intercepting ordinal n in module DLLNAME >
NOTE: Dos16GetProcAddr and Dos32QueryProcAddr do NOT have
to be traced in order to intercept dynamic API calls, but
DOSCALLS must be enabled for tracing.
If the user requests to trace the DOSCALLS SMP API group
and the version of OS/2 is not the multiprocessing version,
information similar to the following is logged after each
SMP API call:
< Returning n for API not present on this version of OS/2 >
If the user requests to trace the DOSCALLS SEM API group
and a semaphore API removed by the Convenience Package for
Warp Server for e-business is called, information similar
to the following is logged:
< Returning n for API removed by WSeB Convenience Package >
If tracing is paused when the executable commences running,
information similar to the following is logged:
< Tracing initially paused >
If tracing is paused while the executable is running,
information similar to the following is logged:
< Pausing trace at nn:nn:nn.nn >
If tracing is resumed while the executable is running,
information similar to the following is logged:
< Resuming trace at nn:nn:nn.nn >
If the user requests to have a user hook called and the
hook returns a valid string, information similar to the
following is logged:
<+ DLLNAME.HOOKNAME(n): string +>
All warning and error messages generated by the
trace-enabled executable are placed in the error message
file OS2TRACE.ERR in the root directory of the operating
system's boot drive in order to avoid conflicts with the
executable's output.
