TRACE-CMD-DUMP(1)
===================

NAME
----
trace-cmd-dump - show a meta data from a trace file, created by trace-cmd record

SYNOPSIS
--------
*trace-cmd dump* ['OPTIONS'] ['input-file']

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The trace-cmd(1) dump command will display the meta data from a trace file
created by trace-cmd record.

OPTIONS
-------
*-i* 'input-file'::
    By default, trace-cmd dump will read the file 'trace.dat'. But the *-i*
    option open up the given 'input-file' instead. Note, the input file may
    also be specified as the last item on the command line.
*-v*, *--validate*::
    Check if the input file is a valid trace file, created by trace-cmd.
*--summary*::
    Print a meta data summary - initial format and a short description of each
    file section. This is the default action, if no arguments are specified.
*--head-page*::
    Print the header page information, stored in the file.
*--head-event*::
    Print the event header information, stored in the file.
*--ftrace-events*::
    Print formats of ftrace specific events.
*--systems*::
    Print information of event systems, stored in the file - name and number of
    events for each system.
*--events*::
    Print formats of all events, stored in the file.
*--kallsyms*::
    Print information of the mapping of function addresses to the function names.
*--printk*::
    Print trace_printk() format strings, stored in the file.
*--cmd-lines*::
    Print mapping a PID to a process name.
*--options*::
    Print all options, stored in the file.
*--flyrecord*::
    Print the offset and the size of tracing data per each CPU.
*--clock*::
    Print the trace clock, used for timestamp of the tracing events, stored in the file.
*--all*::
    Print all meta data from the file.
*--help*::
    Print usage information.
*--verbose*[='level']::
     Set the log level. Supported log levels are "none", "critical", "error", "warning",
     "info", "debug", "all" or their identifiers "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6". Setting the log
     level to specific value enables all logs from that and all previous levels.
     The level will default to "info" if one is not specified.

     Example: enable all critical, error and warning logs

      trace-cmd report --verbose=warning
