MSTFWTRACE(1)

✨ mstfwtrace ✨

okay so bestie, this is the User Commands girlie of the manual pages, and she's called mstfwtrace 💖 she comes from mstflint and she's dated March 2020, and she is so good at her job, iykyk 🫶

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

mstfwtrace — extracts and prints trace messages generated by the firmware of 5th generation devices 💅✨

like. she pulls the firmware's little diary entries out of the silicon and shows them to you. no cap.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

the vibe, the usage, the whole thing:

usage: mstfwtrace -d|--device DEVICE [options]

that's it. that's the energy. -d or --device plus your options and off you go 🌸

💜 optional arguments

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit 🥰 (she's helpful AND polite)
• -v, --version, -v — print tool version. yes she wrote -v twice, and honestly? iconic. not a typo, a choice 💀

---

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• -d DEVICE, --device DEVICE — PCI device name 💖 (this is the one you actually need, bestie, don't skip her)
• --tracer_mode TRACER_MODE — tracer mode, default is MEM ✨
• --real_ts — print real timestamps, in [hh:mm:ss:nsec] format 🕰️ so you actually know when things happened
• --ignore_old_events — ignore collecting old events 🙈 (not me, ignoring my past)

🌈 Format:

• -i IRISC, --irisc IRISC — Irisc name, defaults to all 🧚
• -s, --stream — run in streaming mode 🌊 it's giving live feed
• -m MASK, --mask MASK — trace class mask. use + to enable multiple classes, or use integer format, e.g: -m class1+class2+... or 0xff00ff00 👑
• -l LEVEL, --level LEVEL — trace level 🍓

🫶 Device Specific Info: ====================

okay so this is the part where she lists every single device and which trace classes each one has. do NOT skim, bestie, every one of these is real and every list is exactly as written 💖

lowkey a lot of these devices have the exact same list, and yes, bestie, that's not me being lazy, that's literally what the page says. do not merge them. do not "clean them up". leave them alone 💀
