uftrace-tui - (Interactive) Text-based User Interface

uftrace tui [options]

This command starts an interactive window on a terminal which can show same output of other commands like graph, report and info. Users can navigate the result easily with key presses. The command line options are used to limit the initial data loading.

Set filter to trace selected functions only. This option can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
Set filter not to trace selected functions (or the functions called underneath them). This option can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
Set trigger on selected functions. This option can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of triggers.
Do not show functions which run under the time threshold. If some functions explicitly have the `trace' trigger applied, those are always traced regardless of execution time.
Only print functions called by the given threads. To see the list of threads in the data file, you can use uftrace report --threads or uftrace info. This option can also be used more than once.
Set trace limit in nesting level.
Only show functions executed within the time RANGE. The RANGE can be <start>~<stop> (separated by “~”) and one of <start> and <stop> can be omitted. The <start> and <stop> are timestamp or elapsed time if they have <time_unit> postfix, for example `100us'. The timestamp or elapsed time can be shown with -f time or -f elapsed option respectively in uftrace replay(1).
Use demangled C++ symbol names for filters, triggers, arguments and/or return values. Possible values are “full”, “simple” and “no”. Default is “simple” which ignores function arguments and template parameters.
–match=TYPE
Use pattern match using TYPE. Possible types are regex and glob. Default is regex.
Do not show any events.

If there's only one session (the usual case) it'll start with the graph mode to show a full (function) call graph of the session. Users can change to different mode by pressing some keys. The h key always is available for help.

The current line (marked with `>' below) is displayed with inverted color and arrow keys are used to move the cursor to a different location.

If there're more than one session, it'll start with session selection mode. The graph mode is separated for each session but report mode is merged for the whole sessions.

 Key uftrace command

     call Graph for session #2: t-abc
  R  Report functions
  I  uftrace Info
  h  Help message
  q  quit
