I want to understand how OpenSolaris ptools(process tools) works. How exactly pstack, pmap, pargs etc works, but I can't find any link to its full source code. I can only find an online version of the source. Any advice where I can download source code for offline use?

I heard that OpenSolaris is not "open" anymore? a quick google for "oracle opensolaris" shows a lot of results like this blogs.computerworld.com/16741/oracle_dumps_opensolaris – phunehehe Sep 14 '10 at 15:04

Like Kristof Provost mentioned, the official source for the code is:

ssh://anon@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/project/project-repo

Like you said the source tarballs are now deprecated.

and I cant install Mercurial :(

? But you should have access to some machine where you can? If not, another possibility would be a live cd with mercurial installed, for example the excellent GRML.

Beside that, I cloned the repository for you ;-) You can find it under: http://solaris.oark.org/usr/src/. What you are looking for is the directory http://solaris.oark.org/usr/src/cmd/ptools/. wget should now do the job :-)

Note: I will delete this cloned repository the next weeks...

Have fun.

Will it be possible for you to share tar for that folder? I don't want to over load you server with lots of download request ;) – Hemant Sep 15 '10 at 5:51

@echox: I am done with the download if you want you can remove the repository. Thanks alot for your efforts to copy and share repository on you server. :) – Hemant Sep 16 '10 at 14:21

Get The Source

It's possible you'll need to use Mercurial to get it.

I just saw following comment. "Source tarballs have been deprecated in favour of the onnv project's Mercurial repository." and I cant install Mercurial :(. – Hemant Sep 14 '10 at 12:19

Download it from the main download page.

I checked that page but it seems to have only link to live cd and some other Consolidations. Cant find link to source archive. Can you please post the link to source. – Hemant Sep 14 '10 at 12:03
