libtracecmd - Man Page

#include <trace-cmd.h>

Open and close trace file:
        struct tracecmd_input *tracecmd_open(const char *file, int flags);
        struct tracecmd_input *tracecmd_open_fd(int fd, int flags);
        struct tracecmd_input *tracecmd_open_head(const char *file, int flags);
        void tracecmd_close(struct tracecmd_input *handle);

Read tracing records from a trace file:
        int tracecmd_init_data(struct tracecmd_input *handle);
        struct tep_record *tracecmd_read_cpu_first(struct tracecmd_input *handle, int cpu);
        struct tep_record *tracecmd_read_data(struct tracecmd_input *handle, int cpu);
        struct tep_record *tracecmd_read_at(struct tracecmd_input *handle, unsigned long long offset, int *cpu);
        void tracecmd_free_record(struct tep_record *record);
        struct tep_handle *tracecmd_get_tep(struct tracecmd_input *handle);

Read tracing instances from a trace file:
        int tracecmd_buffer_instances(struct tracecmd_input *handle);
        const char *tracecmd_buffer_instance_name(struct tracecmd_input *handle, int indx);
        struct tracecmd_input *tracecmd_buffer_instance_handle(struct tracecmd_input *handle, int indx);

Get traceing peer information from a trace file:
        unsigned long long tracecmd_get_traceid(struct tracecmd_input *handle);
        int tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap(struct tracecmd_input *handle, unsigned long long trace_id, const char **name, int *vcpu_count, const int **cpu_pid);

The libtracecmd(3) library provides APIs to read, parse and write trace-cmd.dat(5) files, recorded with trace-cmd(1) application and containing tracing information from ftrace, the official Linux kernel tracer.

trace-cmd.h
        Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
-ltracecmd
        Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.
