trace-cmd-stream - Man Page

trace-cmd stream [Options] [command]

The trace-cmd(1) stream will start tracing just like trace-cmd-record(1), except it will not record to a file and instead it will read the binary buffer as it is happening, convert it to a human readable format and write it to stdout​.

This is basically the same as trace-cmd-start(1) and then doing a trace-cmd-show(1) with the -p option​. trace-cmd-stream is not as efficient as reading from the pipe file as most of the stream work is done in userspace​. This is useful if it is needed to do the work mostly in userspace instead of the kernel, and stream also helps to debug trace-cmd-profile(1) which uses the stream code to perform the live data analysis for the profile​.

These are the same as trace-cmd-record(1), except that it does not take
the *-o* option​.

trace-cmd(1), trace-cmd-record(1), trace-cmd-report(1), trace-cmd-start(1), trace-cmd-stop(1), trace-cmd-reset(1), trace-cmd-split(1), trace-cmd-list(1), trace-cmd-listen(1)
