NAME

6       trace-cmd-snapshot - take, reset, free, or show a Ftrace kernel
7       snapshot
8

SYNOPSIS

10       trace-cmd snapshot [OPTIONS]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The trace-cmd(1) snapshot controls or displays the Ftrace Linux kernel
14       snapshot feature (if the kernel supports it). This is useful to
15       "freeze" an instance of a live trace but without stopping the trace.

17            trace-cmd start -p function
18            trace-cmd snapshot -s
19            trace-cmd snapshot
20           [ dumps the content of buffer at 'trace-cmd snapshot -s' ]
21            trace-cmd snapshot -s
22            trace-cmd snapshot
23           [ dumps the new content of the buffer at the last -s operation ]
24

OPTIONS

26       -s
27           Take a snapshot of the currently running buffer.
28
29       -r
30           Clear out the buffer.
31
32       -f
33           Free the snapshot buffer. The buffer takes up memory inside the
34           kernel. It is best to free it when not in use. The first -s
35           operation will allocate it if it is not already allocated.
36
37       -c cpu
38           Operate on a per cpu snapshot (may not be fully supported by all
39           kernels)
40
41       -B buf
42           If a buffer instance was created, then the -B option will operate
43           on the snapshot within the buffer.
