Use "ktrace -p [pid]" to start tracing. Then use "ktrace -C" to stop
tracing. Trace data is dumped in binary format to the file ktrace.out
(unless you use the -f option to specify another file)

Use the kdump utility to convert the ktrace.out file to something usable.
Something like "kdump > ktrace.txt" will probably get you what you want,
assuming your ktrace file is ktrace.out.
