✨ NAME ✨

babeltrace2-plugin-text — it's the Babeltrace 2 plain text plugin bestie, and we're gonna get you obsessed with it 💖

This one lives in the Babeltrace 2 manual, so when you see BABELTRACE2-PLUGIN() up in the corner, that's just her government name 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so. The Babeltrace 2 text plugin contains component classes which read or write plain text data. That's it. That's the vibe. Text in, text out, no cap 💅

If you're like "bestie what is a Babeltrace 2 even", go read babeltrace2-intro(7) — it'll teach you all about the Babeltrace 2 project and its core concepts. Highly recommend, it's giving essential reading ✨

🎀 COMPONENT CLASSES 🎀

Here's the whole squad, one by one, no skipping 🦋

  • source.text.dmesg — Reads the lines of a Linux kernel ring buffer, which is literally just the output of the dmesg(1) tool, and emits each line as an event message. Every single line becomes an event message. Iconic behaviour honestly 🌈

See babeltrace2-source.text.dmesg(7).

  • sink.text.details — Deterministically prints the messages it consumes, with details, to the standard output. Deterministic means same input → same output, every time. She's consistent, she's reliable, she's the moment 👑

See babeltrace2-sink.text.details(7).

  • sink.text.pretty — Pretty-prints the messages it consumes to the standard output or to a file. The name does not lie, she IS pretty 💖

This is equivalent to the text output format of babeltrace(1) (that's Babeltrace 1, the og).

See babeltrace2-sink.text.pretty(7).
