BABELTRACE2-PLUGIN-CTF(7)

💖 NAME 💖

babeltrace2-plugin-ctf — bestie, this is the Babeltrace 2: CTF plugin, and yes it's exactly as iconic as it sounds. We're in the BABELTRACE2-PLUGIN() manual page section, so buckle up 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so the Babeltrace 2 ctf plugin is carrying some component classes that read and write traces that follow the Common Trace Format — that's the CTF thing, and you can peep the whole spec at <https://diamon.org/ctf/> 🦋

If you're like "wait, what is a component class, what is Babeltrace 2, who am I", go read babeltrace2-intro(7) — it explains the Babeltrace 2 project and all its core concepts. Not me sending you to another manpage on the first date but here we are 💅

🌸 COMPONENT CLASSES 🌸

• source.ctf.fs — opens a CTF trace sitting on the file system and emits the messages of its data stream files. Yes, it's giving file-system main character energy. More deets in babeltrace2-source.ctf.fs(7) 🍓
• source.ctf.lttng-live — connects to an LTTng relay daemon (peep <https://lttng.org/>) and emits the messages of the CTF data streams it receives. Live streams?? obsessed. See babeltrace2-source.ctf.lttng-live(7) 📡
• sink.ctf.fs — takes the messages it consumes and writes them out as one or more CTF traces on the file system. It's the writer bestie. See babeltrace2-sink.ctf.fs(7) ✍️
