<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-p</strong> <em>tracer</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify a tracer. Tracers usually do more than just trace an event.
Common tracers are: <strong>function</strong>, <strong>function_graph</strong>, <strong>preemptirqsoff</strong>,
<strong>irqsoff</strong>, <strong>preemptoff</strong> and <strong>wakeup</strong>. A tracer must be supported by the
running kernel. To see a list of available tracers, see trace-cmd-list(1).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-e</strong> <em>event</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify an event to trace. Various static trace points have been added to
the Linux kernel. They are grouped by subsystem where you can enable all
events of a given subsystem or specify specific events to be enabled. The
<em>event</em> is of the format "subsystem:event-name". You can also just specify
the subsystem without the <em>:event-name</em> or the event-name without the
"subsystem:". Using "-e sched_switch" will enable the "sched_switch" event
where as, "-e sched" will enable all events under the "sched" subsystem.
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>The 'event' can also contain glob expressions. That is, "*stat*" will
select all events (or subsystems) that have the characters "stat" in their
names.</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>The keyword 'all' can be used to enable all events.</code></pre>
</div></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-T</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Enable a stacktrace on each event. For example:
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code> <idle>-0 [003] 58549.289091: sched_switch: kworker/0:1:0 [120] R ==> trace-cmd:2603 [120]
<idle>-0 [003] 58549.289092: kernel_stack: <stack trace>
=> schedule (ffffffff814b260e)
=> cpu_idle (ffffffff8100a38c)
=> start_secondary (ffffffff814ab828)</code></pre>
</div></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--func-stack</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Enable a stack trace on all functions. Note this is only applicable
for the "function" plugin tracer, and will only take effect if the
-l option is used and succeeds in limiting functions. If the function
tracer is not filtered, and the stack trace is enabled, you can live
lock the machine.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-f</strong> <em>filter</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Specify a filter for the previous event. This must come after a <strong>-e</strong>. This
will filter what events get recorded based on the content of the event.
Filtering is passed to the kernel directly so what filtering is allowed
may depend on what version of the kernel you have. Basically, it will
let you use C notation to check if an event should be processed or not.

Specify a trigger for the previous event. This must come after a <strong>-e</strong>.

and not the event itself, then place the event after the <strong>-v</strong> option.

<pre class="content"> <strong>-e</strong>: Causes all specified events to not be traced. This is useful for
selecting a subsystem to be traced but to leave out various events.
For example: "-e sched -v -e "*stat*"" will enable all events in
the sched subsystem except those that have "stat" in their names.
<strong>-B</strong>: Deletes the specified ftrace instance. There must be no
configuration options related to this instance in the command line.
For example: "-v -B bar -B foo" will delete instance bar and create
a new instance foo.
Note: the <strong>-v</strong> option was taken from the way grep(1) inverts the following
matches.</pre>

<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-P</strong> <em>pid</em>

<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-c</strong>

<p>
Execute the specified <strong>command</strong> as given user.

Set the trace clock to "clock".

</div></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-l</strong> <em>function-name</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This will limit the <em>function</em> and <em>function_graph</em> tracers to only trace
the given function name. More than one <strong>-l</strong> may be specified on the
command line to trace more than one function. The limited use of glob
expressions are also allowed. These are <em>match*</em> to only filter functions
that start with <em>match</em>. <em>*match</em> to only filter functions that end with
<em>match</em>. <em>*match\*</em> to only filter on functions that contain <em>match</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-g</strong> <em>function-name</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This option is for the function_graph plugin. It will graph the given
function. That is, it will only trace the function and all functions that
it calls. You can have more than one <strong>-g</strong> on the command line.

<strong>-n</strong> <em>function-name</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This has the opposite effect of <strong>-l</strong>. The function given with the <strong>-n</strong>
option will not be traced. This takes precedence, that is, if you include
the same function for both <strong>-n</strong> and <strong>-l</strong>, it will not be traced.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-d</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Some tracer plugins enable the function tracer by default. Like the
latency tracers. This option prevents the function tracer from being
enabled at start up.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-D</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The option <strong>-d</strong> will try to use the function-trace option to disable the
function tracer (if available), otherwise it defaults to the proc file:
/proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled, but will not touch it if the function-trace
option is available. The <strong>-D</strong> option will disable both the ftrace_enabled
proc file as well as the function-trace option if it exists.

<pre><code>Note, this disable function tracing for all users, which includes users

</div></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-O</strong> <em>option</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Ftrace has various options that can be enabled or disabled. This allows
you to set them. Appending the text <em>no</em> to an option disables it.
For example: "-O nograph-time" will disable the "graph-time" Ftrace
option.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-b</strong> <em>size</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This sets the ring buffer size to <em>size</em> kilobytes. Because the Ftrace
ring buffer is per CPU, this size is the size of each per CPU ring buffer
inside the kernel. Using "-b 10000" on a machine with 4 CPUs will make
Ftrace have a total buffer size of 40 Megs.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-B</strong> <em>buffer-name</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If the kernel supports multiple buffers, this will add a buffer with
the given name. If the buffer name already exists, that buffer is just
reset.
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>After a buffer name is stated, all events added after that will be

</div></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-m</strong> <em>size</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The max size in kilobytes that a per cpu buffer should be. Note, due
to rounding to page size, the number may not be totally correct.
Also, this is performed by switching between two buffers that are half
the given size thus the output may not be of the given size even if
much more was written.

<strong>-M</strong> <em>cpumask</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set the cpumask for to trace. It only affects the last buffer instance
given. If supplied before any buffer instance, then it affects the
main buffer. The value supplied must be a hex number.
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-i</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
By default, if an event is listed that trace-cmd does not find, it
will exit with an error. This option will just ignore events that are
listed on the command line but are not found on the system.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>-q</strong> | <strong>--quiet</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Suppresses normal output, except for errors.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--max-graph-depth</strong> <em>depth</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set the maximum depth the function_graph tracer will trace into a function.
A value of one will only show where userspace enters the kernel but not any
functions called in the kernel. The default is zero, which means no limit.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--cmdlines-size</strong> <em>size</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Set the number of entries the kernel tracing file "saved_cmdlines" can
contain. This file is a circular buffer which stores the mapping between
cmdlines and PIDs. If full, it leads to unresolved cmdlines ("<…>") within
the trace. The kernel default value is 128.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--module</strong> <em>module</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Filter a module’s name in function tracing. It is equivalent to adding
<em>:mod:module</em> after all other functions being filtered. If no other function
filter is listed, then all modules functions will be filtered in the filter.
</p>
<div class="literalblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>'--module snd' is equivalent to '-l :mod:snd'</code></pre>

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--stderr</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Have output go to stderr instead of stdout, but the output of the command
executed will not be changed. This is useful if you want to monitor the
output of the command being executed, but not see the output from trace-cmd.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--fork</strong>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If a command is listed, then trace-cmd will wait for that command to finish,
unless the <strong>--fork</strong> option is specified. Then it will fork the command and
return immediately.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<strong>--verbose</strong>[=<em>level</em>]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
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.
