VERIFY_BLKPARSE(1)

💖 VERIFY_BLKPARSE 💖

okay bestie, so this is the VERIFY_BLKPARSE(1) manual page, and honestly? it's a little guy with one job and it does it flawlessly. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

verify_blkparse — verifies an output file produced by blkparse 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

verify_blkparse <filename>

that's it. that's the whole thing. one argument, zero drama. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what does it actually do? It verifies an output file from blkparse. And when I say "verifies", I mean it does exactly one thing and refuses to elaborate:

• it checks if the events in the file are correctly time ordered. ⏰

That's literally it. All it does. Nothing more, nothing less, main character energy with a single goal.

And if it finds an entry that isn't ordered? It dumps that entry to stdout. So if your terminal suddenly starts spitting out events, that's not a glitch, that's the tea being served. 😭

ngl if you're seeing output, something in your trace file is lowkey out of order. that's the whole vibe check.
