       The  boottrace  utility	executes  the  specified utility, creating two
       boottrace(4) trace entries before and after its execution.

ENVIRONMENT
       The PATH	environment variable is	used to	locate the  requested  utility
       if the name contains no `/' characters.

EXIT STATUS
       If utility was executed successfully, its exit status is	returned.

       If  utility  was	found but could	not be executed, an exit status	of 126
       is returned.  If	utility	could not be found, an exit status of  127  is
       returned.
