The following are examples of sh_flow.d.
This is a simple script to trace the flow of Bourne shell functions,
builtins and external commands. Here it traces the example program,
Code/Shell/func_abc.sh.
# sh_flow.d
C TIME(us) FILE -- NAME
0 3060274370505 func_abc.sh -> func_a
0 3060274370529 func_abc.sh > echo
0 3060274372742 func_abc.sh | sleep
0 3060275381634 func_abc.sh -> func_b
0 3060275381660 func_abc.sh > echo
0 3060275383852 func_abc.sh | sleep
0 3060276391653 func_abc.sh -> func_c
0 3060276391679 func_abc.sh > echo
0 3060276393671 func_abc.sh | sleep
0 3060277401753 func_abc.sh <- func_c
0 3060277401767 func_abc.sh <- func_b
0 3060277401775 func_abc.sh <- func_a
^C
As each function is entered, the third column is indented by 2 spaces. This
shows which function is calling who - the output abovebegins by showing that
func_a() began, and then called func_b().
If the output looks shuffled, check the CPU "C" and "TIME" columns, and
post sort based on TIME if necessary.
See Notes/ALLflow_notes.txt for important notes about reading flow outputs.
The following traces the firefox startup script.

This shows the flow, incluing the handover between the "firefox" script
and the "run-mozilla.sh" script.
There is a point in the output where flow appears to reverse (at time
3060321709953, with the entry "> type"). This is due to another instance
of the run-mozilla.sh script running, which is indistinguishable from
the other lines in the output. To confirm this for yourself, add a PID
column to the flow script (or use sh_flowinfo.d).
