When you type ls in the DTraceToolkit, you will be looking at the top ten
or so most useful scripts plus the top level directories. Other scripts have
been placed in meaningful subdirectories, such as Disk, Kernel, Proc, etc.
An optional Bin directory has been provided that links to all the scripts.
The DTraceToolkit is released under the CDDL license. It's the same open
source license that OpenSolaris has been released under.
