6 babeltrace2-sink.text.details - Babeltrace 2's detailed plain text sink
7 component class
8
10 A Babeltrace 2 sink.text.details component deterministically prints the
11 messages it consumes, with all the possible details, to the standard
12 output.

20 See babeltrace2-intro(7) to learn more about the Babeltrace 2 project
21 and its core concepts.
22
23 The purpose of a sink.text.details component is to always print the
24 same text for the same sequence of consumed messages, whatever the
25 build configuration of the Babeltrace 2 project. This can be helpful
26 for testing, debugging, and support.
27
28 The output format is optimized for human reading, with colors when the
29 terminal supports it. You can control how the component prints color
30 codes with the color parameter.
31
32 To achieve a reproducible output, a sink.text.details component sorts
33 the members of all unordered sets before it prints them. For example,
34 the component sorts enumeration field class mappings by label and, for
35 each mapping, sorts the contained ranges.
36
37 In normal mode, each message has at least three lines, the three first
38 being:
39
40 1. Timing information (cycles and nanoseconds since origin).
41
42 Example:
43
44 [102,423,274,041,829 cycles, 1,441,852,841,550,867,846 ns from origin]
45
46 2. Unique stream identifier.
47
48 To be able to follow a specific trace object (the name and UUID
49 properties of a trace object are optional), the component assigns a
50 unique numeric ID to the trace object when it first encounters it
51 in a stream beginning message.
52
53 Example:
54
55 {Trace 1, Stream class ID 0, Stream ID 2}
56
57 3. Message type and basic information.
58
59 Examples:
60
61 Packet beginning:
62
63 Event `lttng_ust_statedump:build_id` (Class ID 2):
64
65 What follows depend on the specific message type. The component prints
66 all the available properties and fields in a human-readable, structured
67 format.
68
69 When a sink.text.details component consumes a stream beginning or an
70 event message, it can print a metadata block for all the metadata
71 objects which it did not print yet. You can use the with-metadata
72 parameter to disable this.
73
74 You can hide specific properties with the with-stream-class-name, with-
75 stream-name, with-time, with-trace-name, and with-uuid parameters.
76
77 To make the component hide many message details and print a single
78 message per line, you can enable the compact mode with the compact
79 parameter.
80
82 color=(never | auto | always) [optional string]
83 Force the terminal color support, one of:
84
85 auto (default)
86 Only emit terminal color codes when the standard output and
87 error streams are connected to a color-capable terminal.
88
89 never
90 Never emit terminal color codes.
91
92 always
93 Always emit terminal color codes.
94
95 The BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR environment variable overrides this
96 parameter.
97
98 compact=yes [optional boolean]
99 Enable compact mode.
100
101 In compact mode, the component prints one line per message,
102 omitting many details about messages. This is useful if you only
103 need the time, type, and very basic information of messages.
104
105 In compact mode, the component still prints the full metadata
106 blocks. You can remove such blocks with the with-metadata
107 parameter.
108
109 with-metadata=no [optional boolean]
110 Do not print metadata blocks.
111
112 with-stream-class-name=no [optional boolean]
113 Do not print stream class names.
114
115 with-stream-name=no [optional boolean]
116 Do not print stream names.
117
118 with-time=no [optional boolean]
119 Do not print timing information.
120
121 with-trace-name=no [optional boolean]
122 Do not print trace names.
123
124 with-uuid=no [optional boolean]
125 Do not print UUIDs.

139 BABELTRACE_EXEC_ON_ABORT=CMDLINE
140 Execute the command line CMDLINE, as parsed like a UNIX 98 shell,
141 when any part of the Babeltrace 2 project unexpectedly aborts.
142
143 The application only aborts when the executed command returns,
144 ignoring its exit status.
145
146 This environment variable is ignored when the application has the
147 setuid or the setgid access right flag set.
148
149 BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR=(AUTO | NEVER | ALWAYS)
150 Force the terminal color support for the babeltrace2(1) program and
151 the project’s plugins.
152
153 The available values are:
154
155 AUTO
156 Only emit terminal color codes when the standard output and
157 error streams are connected to a color-capable terminal.
158
159 NEVER
160 Never emit terminal color codes.
161
162 ALWAYS
163 Always emit terminal color codes.
164
165 BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR_BRIGHT_MEANS_BOLD=0
166 Set to 0 to emit SGR (see
167 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code>) codes 90 to 97
168 for bright colors instead of bold (SGR code 1) and standard color
169 codes (SGR codes 30 to 37).
