What is INIThound?

This is stritly pro gear. A nonprogrammer might find most of the INIThound output interesting, but there's not much more that anyone but a programmer, network administrator, or system administrator can do with it but stand back and marvel.

INIThound is an INIT that loads itself first at the beginning of the INIT loading process and then has the ability to examine in minute detail what every other INIT does as it loads. Among the things it tracks are all memory changes and allocations, and all trap patches. You not only see what was done but also the order in which the changes occurred. This kind of information is vital in tracking and eliminating INIT conflicts.

Reports are ordered up from a cdev or Control Panel interface. The reports are well designed and are available at several levels of detail, from simple one-page listings to full-detail reports (the full-detail report for my Mac ran 56 pages). Users can also use this cdev to enable and disable INITs during startup. Sets of INITs can be saved and enabled or disabled as a group, simplifying debugging.
