NAME

       trace-cmd-dump - show a meta data from a trace file, created by trace-cmd record

SYNOPSIS

       trace-cmd dump [OPTIONS] [input-file]

DESCRIPTION

       The trace-cmd(1) dump command will display the meta data from a trace file created by
       trace-cmd record.

OPTIONS

       -i input-file
           By default, trace-cmd dump will read the file trace.dat. But the -i option open up the
           given input-file instead. Note, the input file may also be specified as the last item
           on the command line.

       -v, --validate
           Check if the input file is a valid trace file, created by trace-cmd.

       --summary
           Print a meta data summary - initial format and a short description of each file
           section. This is the default action, if no arguments are specified.

       --head-page
           Print the header page information, stored in the file.

       --head-event
           Print the event header information, stored in the file.

       --ftrace-events
           Print formats of ftrace specific events.

       --systems
           Print information of event systems, stored in the file - name and number of events for
           each system.

       --events
           Print formats of all events, stored in the file.

       --kallsyms
           Print information of the mapping of function addresses to the function names.

       --printk
           Print trace_printk() format strings, stored in the file.

       --cmd-lines
           Print mapping a PID to a process name.

       --options
           Print all options, stored in the file.

       --flyrecord
           Print the offset and the size of tracing data per each CPU.

       --clock
           Print the trace clock, used for timestamp of the tracing events, stored in the file.

       --all
           Print all meta data from the file.

       --help
           Print usage information.

       --verbose[=level]
           Set the log level. Supported log levels are "none", "critical", "error", "warning",
           "info", "debug", "all" or their identifiers "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". Setting
           the log level to specific value enables all logs from that and all previous levels.
           The level will default to "info" if one is not specified.

               Example: enable all critical, error and warning logs

               trace-cmd report --verbose=warning
