Tiller,
There are problems with trying to use module names with spaces in
the middle:
<rdar://problem/5344820> Space in module name in -n fails
You can use the '?' single char wildcard as a workaround:
pid$target:Address?Book::entry
However, in this case, none of these will help. The problem you are
hitting is that there are no functions in Address Book (the
executable) that
can be instrumented:
ghopper:/Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/MacOS# nm -s __TEXT
__text ./Address\ Book
ghopper:/Applications/Address Book.app/Contents/MacOS#
You probably want to observe the functions in the AddressBook
framework,
which fortunately doesn't have a space in the name :-).
