DESCRIPTION

12       The trace-cmd(1) convert command converts trace file. It reads the
13       input file and copies the data into an output file. The output file may
14       be in different format, depending on the command line arguments. The
15       default output is in version 7 and compressed (if compiled with
16       compression support).

OPTIONS

20           By default, trace-cmd convert will read the file trace.dat. But the

33           passed:
34
35               'any'  - auto select the best available compression algorithm
36
37               'none' - do not compress the trace file
38
39               'name' - the name of the desired compression algorithms. Available algorithms can be listed with
