✨ dmtracedump ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 this is the manual page for dmtracedump, a section 1 user command, and yes it's giving "Android tooling that wandered into your Debian install" energy. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

dmtracedump — Dex Tool 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe. when you run it wrong, you get this exact little gremlin sitting in your terminal, no cap:

debian/out/dmtracedump: invalid option -- '-' Copyright © 2006 The Android Open Source Project

and here's the usage string, character for character, because I do not play with accuracy:

usage: debian/out/dmtracedump [-ho] [-s sortable] [-d trace-file-name] [-g outfile] trace-file-name

so the synopsis is trace-file-name at the end, plus an options party up front. here's the full roster, one by one, nothing skipped, we don't do that here 💖

the flags, and what they actually do:

  • -d trace-file-name — Diff with this trace. it's the compare-against-this-one flag, yk?
  • -g outfile — Write graph to 'outfile'. that's where the graph lives now, periodt.
  • -k — When writing a graph, keep the intermediate DOT file. normally that DOT file would dip, but this says stay bestie 🥺
  • -h — Turn on HTML output. html girlies rise 🌈
  • -o — Dump the dmtrace file instead of profiling.
  • -s — URL base to where the sortable javascript file
  • -t threshold — Threshold percentage for including nodes in the graph.
ngl the -s description trails off like a text you never finished sending 🙈 I'm giving you exactly what the page gives you — no more, no less. that's the rule, bestie, and I respect the rule 💯

and that's the whole thing. short page, high impact, main character energy fr fr 🎀

and finally, the lil sign-off: this page is dmtracedump version 14.0.0+r15-6, dated February 2026. stay slay, go read a trace, mwah 💜✨
