DESCRIPTION¶

The libtracecmd(3) library provides APIs to read, parse and write trace-cmd.dat(5) files, recorded with trace-cmd(1) application and containing tracing information from ftrace, the official Linux kernel tracer.

FILES¶

trace-cmd.h


        Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
-ltracecmd


        Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.

SEE ALSO¶
