Hi all, I am new to solaris and I would like to know how to use truss
command to analyze or debug processes. Please help me from where I can
get detailed information regarding TRUSS cmd usage.

Thanks in advance.

There isn't a TRUSS command, but truss is well documented by its man page.

I'd also recommend looking at apptrace and dtrace. If you don't want to
get into all of dtrace's gory details, there are a good number of
useful canned scripts in the dtrace toolkit.

man truss

You might also look at docs.sun.com
All of the Solaris documentation is there. You can download the .pdf
files or order hardcopy.

In Solaris 10, you have "dtrace" which seems to have been received with
great enthusiasm by those who develop software for Solaris.

The same place as any other command: its man page.

And also no doubt by other OSes whose developers have been farsighted
enough to see and embrace a good idea when they see it. Specifically,
FreeBSD and Mac OS X.
