Ubuntu Manpage: uftrace-tui - (Interactive) Text-based User Interface

NAME

       uftrace-tui - (Interactive) Text-based User Interface

SYNOPSIS

       uftrace tui [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  starts  an  interactive  window on a terminal which can show same output of
       other commands like graph, report and info.  Users can navigate the result easily with key
       presses.  The command line options are used to limit the initial data loading.

TUI OPTIONS

       -f FIELD, --output-fields=FIELD
              Customize  fields  in  the  output.   This option basically indicates graph fields.
              Possible values are total, self and addr.  The default value is  `total'.   But  if
              this  option  is  used  with  –report  option, this option indicates report fields.
              Possible values are total, total-avg, total-min, total-max, self,  self-avg,  self-
              min,  self-max,  call  and size.  The default value is `total,self,call'.  Multiple
              fields can be set by using comma.  If given field name starts with “+”, then  it’ll
              be  appended  to the default fields.  The special field `none' can be used (solely)
              to hide all fields.  See uftrace-graph(1) or uftrace-report(1) for  an  explanation
              of fields.

       -s KEYS[,KEYS,...], --sort=KEYS[,KEYS,...]
              Sort  functions by given KEYS.  Multiple KEYS can be given, separated by comma (,).
              Possible keys are total (time), total-avg, total-min, total-max, self (time), self-
              avg,  self-min,  self-max,  call,  func  and  size.   This option must be used with
              –report option.

COMMON OPTIONS

-F FUNC, --filter=FUNC
Set filter to trace selected functions and their children functions. This option
can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.

-N FUNC, --notrace=FUNC
Set filter not to trace selected functions and their children functions. This
option can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of
filters.

-C FUNC, --caller-filter=FUNC
Set filter to trace callers of selected functions only. This option can be used
more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.

-T TRG, --trigger=TRG
Set trigger on selected functions. This option can be used more than once. See
uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of triggers.

-D DEPTH, --depth DEPTH
Set trace limit in nesting level.

-t TIME, --time-filter=TIME
Do not show functions which run under the time threshold. If some functions
explicitly have the `trace' trigger applied, those are always traced regardless of
execution time.

-Z SIZE, --size-filter=SIZE
Do not show functions smaller than SIZE bytes.

-L LOCATION, --loc-filter=LOCATION
Set filter to trace selected source locations. This option can be used more than
once. See FILTERS.

--no-libcall
Do not show library calls.

--no-event
Do not show any events. Implies --no-sched.

--no-sched
Do not show schedule events.

--no-sched-preempt
Do not show preempt schedule events but show regular(sleeping) schedule events.

--match=TYPE
Use pattern match using TYPE. Possible types are regex and glob. Default is
regex.

--with-syms=DIR
Read symbol data from the .sym files in DIR directory instead of the binary. This
can be useful to deal with stripped binaries. The file name of the main binary
should be the same when saved and used.

COMMON ANALYSIS OPTIONS

       -H FUNC, --hide=FUNC
              Set  filter not to trace selected functions.  It doesn’t affect their subtrees, but
              hides only the given functions.  This option can  be  used  more  than  once.   See
              uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.

       --kernel-full
              Show all kernel functions called outside of user functions.

       --kernel-only
              Show kernel functions only without user functions.

       --event-full
              Show all (user) events outside of user functions.

       --tid=TID[,TID,...]
              Only  print  functions  called by the given tasks.  To see the list of tasks in the
              data file, you can use uftrace report --task or uftrace info.  This option can also
              be used more than once.

       --demangle=TYPE
              Use  demangled  C++  symbol  names  for  filters, triggers, arguments and/or return
              values.  Possible values are “full”, “simple” and “no”.  Default is “simple”  which
              ignores function arguments and template parameters.

       -r RANGE, --time-range=RANGE
              Only   show   functions   executed  within  the  time  RANGE.   The  RANGE  can  be
              <start>~<stop> (separated by “~”) and one of <start> and  <stop>  can  be  omitted.
              The  <start>  and  <stop>  are  timestamp  or elapsed time if they have <time_unit>
              postfix, for example `100us'.  The timestamp or elapsed time can be shown  with  -f
              time or -f elapsed option respectively in uftrace replay(1).

OUTLINE

       If  there’s  only  one  session (the usual case) it’ll start with the graph mode to show a
       full (function) call graph of the session.  Users can change to different mode by pressing
       some keys.  The h key always is available for help.

       The  current  line (marked with `>' below) is displayed with inverted color and arrow keys
       are used to move the cursor to a different location.

               TOTAL TIME : FUNCTION
              >  7.548 us : (1) t-abc
                 1.811 us :  ├─(1) __monstartup
                          :  │
                 1.266 us :  ├─(1) __cxa_atexit
                          :  │
                 4.471 us :  └─(1) main
                 3.743 us :    (1) a
                 3.194 us :    (1) b
                 2.454 us :    (1) c
                 1.000 us :    (1) getpid

               uftrace graph: session 2a22812ebbd06f40 (/tmp/uftrace/tests/t-abc)

       If there’re more than one session, it’ll start with session  selection  mode.   The  graph
       mode is separated for each session but report mode is merged for the whole sessions.

               Key uftrace command
              > G  call Graph for session #1: t-forkexec
                   call Graph for session #2: t-abc
                R  Report functions
                I  uftrace Info
                h  Help message
                q  quit

               session a27acff69aec5c9c:  exe image: /tmp/uftrace/tests/t-forkexec
