BABELTRACE2-PLUGIN-UTILS(7)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is the manual page for babeltrace2-plugin-utils — the Babeltrace 2 common graph utilities plugin, living its best life in section 7 (the BABELTRACE2-PLUGIN manual, if you were wondering 🎀).

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the Babeltrace 2 utils plugin is literally a little treasure chest of common, generic utility component classes — and you can drop any of them into any processing graph you want. no gatekeeping, no "sorry this one's only for special graphs" energy. it's giving universal donor 🩸✨

if you're like "wait, what's a component class, what's a graph, who am I" — no stress, go read babeltrace2-intro(7) to learn all about the Babeltrace 2 project and its core concepts. it's the prerequisite lore, iykyk 📖🦋

👑 COMPONENT CLASSES 👑

🧚 filter.utils.muxer

Muxes messages by time. that's it, that's the whole vibe — it takes your messages and lines them up chronologically like a perfectly organized group chat 🕐💅

See babeltrace2-filter.utils.muxer(7).

✂️ filter.utils.trimmer

Discards all the consumed messages whose time falls outside a given time range — effectively "cutting" trace streams. yes bestie, it's literally scissors for your timeline 🔥✂️

See babeltrace2-filter.utils.trimmer(7).

🔢 sink.utils.counter

Prints the number of consumed messages. you get to choose: either once at the end, or periodically — pick your moment, main character 🎀📊

See babeltrace2-sink.utils.counter(7).

🕳️ sink.utils.dummy

Consumes messages and then discards them — it does absolutely nothing with them. the void, but make it a component class 💀🌌

this one is useful for testing and benchmarking a trace processing graph application, for example. so like, a very productive nothing 🫶

See babeltrace2-sink.utils.dummy(7).
