## dlv trace

Compile and begin tracing program.

### Synopsis

Trace program execution.

The trace sub command will set a tracepoint on every function matching the
provided regular expression and output information when tracepoint is hit.  This
is useful if you do not want to begin an entire debug session, but merely want
to know what functions your process is executing.

The output of the trace sub command is printed to stderr, so if you would like to
only see the output of the trace operations you can redirect stdout.

```
dlv trace [package] regexp [flags]
```

### Options

```
      --ebpf            Trace using eBPF (experimental).
  -e, --exec string     Binary file to exec and trace.
  -h, --help            help for trace
      --output string   Output path for the binary. (default "debug")
  -p, --pid int         Pid to attach to.
  -s, --stack int       Show stack trace with given depth. (Ignored with --ebpf)
  -t, --test            Trace a test binary.
```

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --accept-multiclient               Allows a headless server to accept multiple client connections via JSON-RPC or DAP.
      --allow-non-terminal-interactive   Allows interactive sessions of Delve that don't have a terminal as stdin, stdout and stderr
      --api-version int                  Selects JSON-RPC API version when headless. New clients should use v2. Can be reset via RPCServer.SetApiVersion. See Documentation/api/json-rpc/README.md. (default 1)
      --backend string                   Backend selection (see 'dlv help backend'). (default "default")
      --build-flags string               Build flags, to be passed to the compiler. For example: --build-flags="-tags=integration -mod=vendor -cover -v"
      --check-go-version                 Exits if the version of Go in use is not compatible (too old or too new) with the version of Delve. (default true)
      --disable-aslr                     Disables address space randomization
      --headless                         Run debug server only, in headless mode. Server will accept both JSON-RPC or DAP client connections.
      --init string                      Init file, executed by the terminal client.
  -l, --listen string                    Debugging server listen address. (default "127.0.0.1:0")
      --log                              Enable debugging server logging.
      --log-dest string                  Writes logs to the specified file or file descriptor (see 'dlv help log').
      --log-output string                Comma separated list of components that should produce debug output (see 'dlv help log')
      --only-same-user                   Only connections from the same user that started this instance of Delve are allowed to connect. (default true)
  -r, --redirect stringArray             Specifies redirect rules for target process (see 'dlv help redirect')
      --wd string                        Working directory for running the program.
