NAME

       trace-cmd-reset - turn off all Ftrace tracing to bring back full performance

SYNOPSIS

       trace-cmd reset [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The trace-cmd(1) reset command turns off all tracing of Ftrace. This will bring back the performance of
       the system before tracing was enabled. This is necessary since trace-cmd-record(1), trace-cmd-stop(1) and
       trace-cmd-extract(1) do not disable the tracer, event after the data has been pulled from the buffers.
       The rational is that the user may want to manually enable the tracer with the Ftrace pseudo file system,
       or examine other parts of Ftrace to see what trace-cmd did. After the reset command happens, the data in
       the ring buffer, and the options that were used are all lost.

OPTIONS

       -b buffer_size
           When the kernel boots, the Ftrace ring buffer is of a minimal size (3 pages per CPU). The first time
           the tracer is used, the ring buffer size expands to what it was set for (default 1.4 Megs per CPU).

               If no more tracing is to be done, this option allows you to shrink the
               ring buffer down to free up available memory.

               trace-cmd reset -b 1
