NAME

       arbtt-dump - dumps arbtt data samples

SYNOPSIS

       arbtt-dump [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

       arbtt-dump reads the data samples recorded by arbtt-capture(1) and writes them so the standard output in
       an ascii based format.

OPTIONS

       -h, -?, --help
           shows a short summary of the available options, and exists.

       -V, --version
           shows the version number, and exists.

       -f FILE, --logfile FILE
           logfile to use instead of ~/.arbtt/capture.log

       -t FORMAT, --format FORMAT
           dumping format to use, where FORMAT is one of human (the default), show or JSON. Case in-sensitive.

       -l NUMBER, --last NUMBER
           dump only the last NUMBER of samples.

FILES

       ~/.arbtt/capture.log
           binary file, storing the arbtt data samples

FORMATS

   Human
       This format is intended for human inspection, but not for further processing. Hence, it may change in new
       versions of arbtt without notice. Example output:

           2013-06-20 14:53:50 (48ms inactive):
               ( ) Navigator:      arbtt-dump - Iceweasel
               ( ) gnome-terminal-server: jojo@kirk:~/projekte/programming/arbtt/doc
               (*) gvim:           arbtt.xml + (~/projekte/programming/arbtt/doc) - GVIM2

       The line with a star indicates the currently active window.

   Show
       This is the default serialization format of Haskell's Show type class, one entry per line. This can be
       useful if the data is to be processed by further Haskell code. Example output, with indentation added
       manually:

           TimeLogEntry
               { tlTime = 2013-06-20 14:53:50.957763 UTC
               , tlRate = 60000
               , tlData = CaptureData
                   { cWindows =
                       [ (False,"arbtt-dump - Iceweasel","Navigator")
                       , (False,"jojo@kirk:~/projekte/programming/arbtt/doc","gnome-terminal-server")
                       , (True,"arbtt.xml + (~/projekte/programming/arbtt/doc) - GVIM2","gvim")
                       ]
                   , cLastActivity = 48
                   }
               }

   JSON
       For interoperability, arbtt supports dumping its data to JSON, which can easily be parsed by many
       different programming languages. Some level of backward-compatibility will be provided, as far as
       possible. Default output, again with indentation and spacing added manually:

           [ ...,
             { "windows": [
                 { "program": "arbtt-dump - Iceweasel",
                   "title": "Navigator",
                   "active": false},
                 { "program": "jojo@kirk:~/projekte/programming/arbtt/doc",
                   "title":" gnome-terminal-server",
                   "active": false},
                 { "program": "arbtt.xml + (~/projekte/programming/arbtt/doc) - GVIM2",
                   "title": "gvim",
                   "active":true
                 }],
               "inactive": 48,
               "date": "2013-06-20T14:53:50.957Z",
               "rate": 60000},
             ...
           ]
