NAME

       babeltrace2-filter.utils.trimmer - Babeltrace 2's trimmer filter component class

DESCRIPTION

       A Babeltrace 2 filter.utils.trimmer message iterator discards all the consumed messages
       with a time less than a given beginning time and greater than a given end time. It
       effectively “cuts”, or trims trace streams.

                       +-------------------+

       See babeltrace2-intro(7) to learn more about the Babeltrace 2 project and its core
       concepts.

       A filter.utils.trimmer message iterator makes its upstream message iterator seek the
       configured beginning time (see the begin parameter) before it starts to consume messages.
       This seeking operation can have an effect on the times of stream beginning, packet
       beginning, discarded events, and discarded packets messages so that they fall within the
       configured trimming time range.

       As such, when a filter.utils.trimmer message iterator consumes a message of which the time
       is greater than the configured end time (see the end parameter), it can alter the time of
       stream end, packet end, discarded events, and discarded packets messages so that they fall
       within the configured trimming time range.

       A filter.utils.trimmer message iterator requires that all the upstream messages it
       consumes have times, except for stream beginning and end messages, returning an error
       status otherwise.

INITIALIZATION PARAMETERS

       begin=TIME [optional string or signed integer]
           Set the trimming time range’s beginning time to TIME.

           If TIME is a string, see below for its format. If TIME is a signed integer, the
           component converts it to a string and treats it as such.

           If you don’t specify this parameter, the component discards no events until the end of
           the trimming time range.

           The format of TIME when it’s a string is one of:

               YYYY-MM-DD HH:II[:SS[.NANO]]
               HH:II[:SS[.NANO]]
               [-]SEC[.NANO]

           YYYY
               4-digit year.

           MM
               2-digit month (January is 01).

           DD
               2-digit day.

           HH
               2-digit hour (24-hour format).

           II
               2-digit minute.

           SS
               2-digit second.

           NANO
               Nanoseconds (up to nine digits).

           SEC
               Seconds since origin.

           If TIME has no date information, then the message iterator uses the first upstream
           message’s time to determine the date.

       end=TIME [optional string or signed integer]
           Set the trimming time range’s end time to TIME.

           If TIME is a string, see the begin parameter for its format. If TIME is a signed
           integer, the component converts it to a string and treats it as such.

           If you don’t specify this parameter, the component discards no events from the
           beginning of the trimming time range.

       gmt=yes [optional boolean]
           Set the time zone of the begin and end parameters to GMT instead of the local time
           zone.
