NAME

       trace-cmd-stop - stop the Ftrace Linux kernel tracer from writing to the ring buffer.

SYNOPSIS

       trace-cmd stop

DESCRIPTION

       The trace-cmd(1) stop is a complement to trace-cmd-start(1). This will disable Ftrace from writing to the ring buffer. This does not stop
       the overhead that the tracing may incur. Only the updating of the ring buffer is disabled, the Ftrace tracing may still be inducing
       overhead.

       After stopping the trace, the trace-cmd-extract(1) may strip out the data from the ring buffer and create a trace.dat file. The Ftrace
       pseudo file system may also be examined.

       To disable the tracing completely to remove the overhead it causes, use trace-cmd-reset(1). But after a reset is performed, the data that
       has been recorded is lost.

NAME

       trace-cmd-split - split a trace.dat file into smaller files

SYNOPSIS

       trace-cmd split [OPTIONS] [start-time [end-time]]

DESCRIPTION

       The trace-cmd(1) split is used to break up a trace.dat into small files. The start-time specifies where the new file will start at. Using
       trace-cmd-report(1) and copying the time stamp given at a particular event, can be used as input for either start-time or end-time. The
       split will stop creating files when it reaches an event after end-time. If only the end-time is needed, use 0.0 as the start-time.

       If start-time is left out, then the split will start at the beginning of the file. If end-time is left out, then split will continue to the
       end unless it meets one of the requirements specified by the options.

OPTIONS

       -i file
	   If this option is not specified, then the split command will look for the file named trace.dat. This options will allow the reading of
	   another file other than trace.dat.

       -o file
	   By default, the split command will use the input file name as a basis of where to write the split files. The output file will be the
	   input file with an attached '.#' to the end: trace.dat.1, trace.dat.2, etc.

	       This option will change the name of the base file used.

	       -o file	will create file.1, file.2, etc.

       -s seconds
	   This specifies how many seconds should be recorded before the new file should stop.

       -m milliseconds
	   This specifies how many milliseconds should be recorded before the new file should stop.

       -u microseconds
	   This specifies how many microseconds should be recorded before the new file should stop.

       -e events
	   This specifies how many events should be recorded before the new file should stop.

       -p pages
	   This specifies the number of pages that should be recorded before the new file should stop.

	       Note: only one of *-p*, *-e*, *-u*, *-m*, *-s* may be specified at a time.

	       If *-p* is specified, then *-c* is automatically set.

       -r
	   This option causes the break up to repeat until end-time is reached (or end of the input if end-time is not specified).

	       trace-cmd split -r -e 10000

	       This will break up trace.dat into several smaller files, each with at most
	       10,000 events in it.

       -c
	   This option causes the above break up to be per CPU.

	       trace-cmd split -c -p 10

	       This will create a file that has 10 pages per each CPU from the input.
