TRACE-CMD-DUMP(1)           libtracefs Manual          TRACE-CMD-DUMP(1)

NAME         top

       trace-cmd-dump - show a meta data from a trace file, created by
       trace-cmd record

SYNOPSIS         top

       trace-cmd dump [OPTIONS] [input-file]

DESCRIPTION         top

       The trace-cmd(1) dump command will display the meta data from a
       trace file created by trace-cmd record.

OPTIONS         top

       -i input-file
           By default, trace-cmd dump will read the file trace.dat. But
           the -i option open up the given input-file instead. Note, the
           input file may also be specified as the last item on the
           command line.

       -v, --validate
           Check if the input file is a valid trace file, created by
           trace-cmd.

       --summary
           Print a meta data summary - initial format and a short
           description of each file section. This is the default action,
           if no arguments are specified.

       --head-page
           Print the header page information, stored in the file.

       --head-event
           Print the event header information, stored in the file.

       --ftrace-events
           Print formats of ftrace specific events.

       --systems
           Print information of event systems, stored in the file - name
           and number of events for each system.

       --events
           Print formats of all events, stored in the file.

       --kallsyms
           Print information of the mapping of function addresses to the
           function names.

       --printk
           Print trace_printk() format strings, stored in the file.

       --cmd-lines
           Print mapping a PID to a process name.

       --options
           Print all options, stored in the file.

       --flyrecord
           Print the offset and the size of tracing data per each CPU.

       --clock
           Print the trace clock, used for timestamp of the tracing
           events, stored in the file.

       --all
           Print all meta data from the file.

       --help
           Print usage information.

       --verbose[=level]
           Set the log level. Supported log levels are "none",
           "critical", "error", "warning", "info", "debug", "all" or
           their identifiers "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". Setting
           the log level to specific value enables all logs from that
           and all previous levels. The level will default to "info" if
           one is not specified.

               Example: enable all critical, error and warning logs

               trace-cmd report --verbose=warning
