lttng-crash - Recover and read LTTng trace buffers in the event of a crash

Description

       The LinuxTraceToolkit:nextgeneration <https://lttng.org/> is an open-source software package used for
       correlated tracing of the Linux kernel, user applications, and user libraries.

       LTTng consists of Linux kernel modules (for Linux kernel tracing) and dynamically loaded libraries (for
       user application and library tracing).

       The lttng-crash command-line tool recovers LTTng trace buffers in the event of a system crash.

       lttng-crash reads files within the directory SHMDIR and does one of:

       Without the --extract option
           Launches a trace reader (see the --viewer option) to view the recovered traces.

       With the --extract=DIR option
           Extracts the files as uncorrupted LTTng traces to the DIR directory.

       SHMDIR is the directory specified as the argument of the --shm-path option of the lttng-create(1) command
       used to create the recording session for which to recover the traces.

Name

       lttng-crash - Recover and read LTTng trace buffers in the event of a crash

Options

-xDIR, --extract=DIR
           Extract recovered traces to the directory DIR; do NOT execute any trace reader.

       -v, --verbose
           Increase verbosity.

           Specify this option up to three times to get more levels of verbosity.

       -eREADER, --viewer=READER
           Use the trace reader READER to read the trace buffers.

           READER is the absolute path to the reader command to use, and it can contain command arguments as
           well.  lttng-crash passes the trace directory paths to the READER command as its last arguments.

           Without this option, lttngcrash uses babeltrace2(1) if it’s available. Otherwise, it tries to use
           babeltrace(1).

   Programinformation-h, --help
           Show help.

           This option attempts to launch /usr/bin/man to view this manual page. Override the manual pager path
           with the LTTNG_MAN_BIN_PATH environment variable.

       --list-options
           List available command options and quit.

       -V, --version
           Show version and quit.

Thanks

       Special thanks to Michel Dagenais and the DORSAL laboratory <http://www.dorsal.polymtl.ca/> at École
       Polytechnique de Montréal for the LTTng journey.

       Also thanks to the Ericsson teams working on tracing which helped us greatly with detailed bug reports
       and unusual test cases.
