| TRACE-CMD-STOP(1) |
| =================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| trace-cmd-stop - stop the Ftrace Linux kernel tracer from writing to the ring |
| buffer. |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| *trace-cmd stop* |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| The trace-cmd(1) stop is a complement to 'trace-cmd-start(1)'. This will |
| disable Ftrace from writing to the ring buffer. This does not stop the |
| overhead that the tracing may incur. Only the updating of the ring buffer is |
| disabled, the Ftrace tracing may still be inducing overhead. |
| |
| After stopping the trace, the 'trace-cmd-extract(1)' may strip out the data |
| from the ring buffer and create a trace.dat file. The Ftrace pseudo file |
| system may also be examined. |
| |
| To disable the tracing completely to remove the overhead it causes, use |
| 'trace-cmd-reset(1)'. But after a reset is performed, the data that has been |
| recorded is lost. |
