DESCRIPTION
DLight is an interactive graphical observability tool that uses Oracle
Solaris Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) technology. You can use DLight on Ora‐
cle Solaris platforms to analyze graphical data from multiple DTrace
scripts in a synchronized fashion to trace a runtime problem in a
C/C++/Fortran application or AMP stack to the root cause.
OPTIONS--jdkhome path
Explicitly specifies the path to the Java 6 JDK or JRE. If this
option is not given, the command looks for the JDK in your PATH.
If the dlight command cannot find a JDK in your path, it looks for
one in /usr/jdk and /usr/java. If you specify a JDK path with the
--jdkhome option and the command finds an invalid JRE at that
location, it issues a warning and terminates its search.
-V | --version
Displays version information for DLight.
-? | --help
Displays the list of command-line options.
-Jjvm-options]
Specifies options to the Java Virtual Machine that is started for
DLight. See the java man page for descriptions of options.
DLight is based on the NetBeans platform. You can see options for Net‐
Beans-based applications by typing /<studio-directory>/lib/net‐
beans/bin/netbeans --help

tions: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqStartupParameters
For information about using DLight, see the DLight Tutorial in the
Oracle Solaris Studio documentation: http://www.oracle.com/technet‐
