We are talking at cross-purposes. DTrace (see the subject of this thread) is a 
kernel facility, originally developed by Sun, which allows developers to log 
program events without altering the executable. With its scripting language, 
you can (for instance) log the file names of only the invocations of write() 
that took longer than 20 milliseconds to report errors.

The scripting language is called D 
<http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace/Documentation>. I had hoped there was a 
language module for it.

Seeing none, I thought of writing a codeless language module for D/DTrace, but 
life is too short: The appendix in the BBEdit User Manual that describes CLMs 
is indecipherable. BBEdit would benefit from a lot more modules if the 
documentation were clearer. I'm filing a very testy bug report about it.

For the moment I'm falling back on the C module.
