uftrace-dump - Print raw tracing data in the data files

uftrace dump [options]

This command shows raw tracing data recorded in the data file. The dump format can be configured by additional options such as –chrome, –flame-graph, or –graphviz.

Show JSON style output as used by the Google Chrome tracing facility.
Show FlameGraph style output viewable by modern web browsers (after processing by the FlameGraph tool).
Show DOT style output used by the graphviz toolkit.
Show graph as mermaid flowchart diagram. It can be rendered in the browser.
Show hex dump of data as well
Apply sampling time when generating output for –flame-graph. By default, it tries to find a period from 1 usec to 1 sec where it keeps the total number of samples under 1 million (in a single-threaded program). You can override the sampling time with this option explicitly. Note that functions which ran less than the sampling time will be removed from the output and functions ran longer than the time will be shown as larger.
Do not show function arguments and return value.

Set filter to trace selected functions and their children functions. This option can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
Set filter not to trace selected functions and their children functions. This option can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
Set filter to trace callers of selected functions only. 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.
Set trace limit in nesting level.
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.
Do not show functions smaller than SIZE bytes.
Set filter to trace selected source locations. This option can be used more than once.
Do not show library calls.
Do not show any events. Implies --no-sched.
Do not show schedule events.
Use pattern match using TYPE. Possible types are regex and glob. Default is regex.
Read symbol data from the .sym files in DIR directory instead of the binary. This can be useful to deal with stripped binaries. The file name of the main binary should be the same when saved and used.

Set filter not to trace selected functions. It doesn’t affect their subtrees, but hides only the given functions. This option can be used more than once. See uftrace-replay(1) for an explanation of filters.
Show all kernel functions called outside of user functions. This option is only meaningful when used with --chrome, --flame-graph or --graphviz options.
Dump kernel functions only without user functions.
Show all (user) events outside of user functions. This option is only meaningful when used with --chrome, --flame-graph or --graphviz options.
Only print functions called by the given tasks. To see the list of tasks in the data file, you can use uftrace report --task or uftrace info. This option can also be used more than once.
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.
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).

This command dumps data like below:

$ uftrace record abc

uftrace file header: version       = 4

uftrace file header: endian        = 1 (little)

uftrace file header: features      = 0x63 (PLTHOOK | TASK_SESSION | SYM_REL_ADDR | MAX_STACK)
