There has been one on the binary format, but I doubt it is up-to-date. The closest thing we currently have to a specification is a reference implementation (lttng and lttv libltttraceread). There has never been any specification for the text output. Note that if you plan to parse the textDump output, you might want to try lttv -m textDump --path_output -t tracepath > Furthermore, is there any document or other kind of information about this > format, apart from the logs itself. > Old format documentation here : http://ltt.polymtl.ca/svn/trunk/lttv/doc/developer/format.html (outdated) > Is it possible to create just one binary log? > Not with the current lttng design. One binary log would cause too much cache line bouncing on SMP systems anyway. > I'm investigating creating a log parser for our own tool chain. > You might want to investigate using the LGPL libltttraceread library, part of LTTV, to save yourself some time. :) Mathieu > Thanks, > Jonas > _______________________________________________ > ltt-dev mailing list > ltt-dev at lists.casi.polymtl.ca > http://lists.casi.polymtl.ca/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ltt-dev -- Mathieu Desnoyers OpenPGP key fingerprint: 8CD5 52C3 8E3C 4140 715F BA06 3F25 A8FE 3BAE 9A68
