Both building with dynamic trace probes and using them is experimental and unsupported by Erlang/OTP. It is included as an option for the developer to trace and debug performance issues in their systems.

The original implementation is mostly done by Scott Lystiger Fritchie as an Open Source Contribution and it should be viewed as such even though the source for dynamic tracing as well as this module is included in the main distribution. However, the ability to use dynamic tracing of the virtual machine is a very valuable contribution which OTP has every intention to maintain as a tool for the developer.

How to write d programs or systemtap scripts can be learned from books and from a lot of pages on the Internet. This manual page does not include any documentation about using the dynamic trace tools of respective platform. The examples directory of the runtime_tools application however contains comprehensive examples of both d and systemtap programs that will help you get started. Another source of information is the DTRACE(.md) and SYSTEMTAP(.md) files in the HOWTO folder in the Erlang source directory.
