✨ babeltrace2-sink.utils.dummy — Babeltrace 2 manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for babeltrace2-sink.utils.dummy, straight out of the Babeltrace 2 manual 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

babeltrace2-sink.utils.dummy — Babeltrace 2: Dummy sink component class 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So a Babeltrace 2 sink.utils.dummy component consumes messages and then discards them. Like, it does absolutely nothing with them. It's the "read the group chat and never reply" of component classes. Iconic, honestly. 👑

                       +------------------+
                       | sink.utils.dummy |
                       |                  |
           Messages -->@ in               |
                       +------------------+

If you wanna learn more about the Babeltrace 2 project and its core concepts, go read babeltrace2-intro(7) — it's giving required reading 📚

A sink.utils.dummy sink component is lowkey perfect when you wanna run a trace processing graph with no sink side effect at all, like for doing benchmarks. And fr fr, for that kinda task, prefer a sink.utils.dummy component class over, say, a sink.text.pretty component with its output piped to /dev/null — because a sink.text.pretty component still does all the formatting work. No cap, that formatting is wasted effort. The dummy just vibes. 🦋
