The IDE provides the I/O Usage tool for observing the input/output behavior of C/C++/Fortran projects. The tool shows an overall graphical view of the reads and writes of your project, and a more detailed view of individual files that are read from and written to.
The input/output data is collected with DTrace, a tool for tracing the activities of running programs in the Oracle Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris operating systems. For this reason, it can only run on these platforms.
Tip: If you have access to a remote system running Oracle Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris, you can configure it as a remote development host in the IDE and then use that system to build and run your project.
In order to use the I/O Usage tool, the Solaris user account that you use when you run the IDE must have sufficient DTrace privileges to observe system behavior. See Enabling DTrace For Profiling C/C++/Fortran Applications.
