<u><b>7. Command scripts</b></u>
</font>
<br>
<br>
Most of the time, the different components are used using similar options
over and over again. Since the components need rather long command lines,
it is desirable to speed-up the common cases. The following scripts help
in this regard.
<p><i><font size=4>7.1 Trace for a certain period of time </font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> trace - running the trace daemon
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> trace
<u>Seconds</u> <u>OutFile</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
<p> This will run tracedaemon for the given number of seconds
and will set the output files to be <u>OutFile</u>.trace and <u>OutFile</u>.proc.
It uses /dev/tracer as the device where input should come from.
</ul>
<p><i><font size=4>7.2 Trace core events for a certain period of time </font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> tracecore - running the trace daemon while recording core events
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> tracecore
<u>Seconds</u> <u>OutFile</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
<p> This will run tracedaemon for the given number of seconds
and will set the output files to be <u>OutFile</u>.trace and <u>OutFile</u>.proc.
It uses /dev/tracer as the device where input should come from. Contrary to the
previous command, it will only record core events.
</ul>
<p><i><font size=4>7.3 Trace for a certain period of time while recording the CPUID</font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> tracecpuid - running the trace daemon while recording the CPUID
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> tracecpuid
<u>Seconds</u> <u>OutFile</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
<p> This will run tracedaemon for the given number of seconds
and will set the output files to be <u>OutFile</u>.trace and <u>OutFile</u>.proc.
It uses /dev/tracer as the device where input should come from. Moreover, it will
set the -c option of tracedaemon.
</ul>
<p><i><font size=4>7.4 Trace for an unlimited period of time </font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> traceu - running the trace daemon
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> traceu
<u>OutFile</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
<p> This will run tracedaemon for the given number of seconds
and will set the output files to be <u>OutFile</u>.trace and <u>OutFile</u>.proc.
It uses /dev/tracer as the device where input should come from.
</ul>
<p><i><font size=4>7.5 Dump the trace in a human-readable format </font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> tracedump - running the trace decoder
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> tracedump
<u>File</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
<p> This will run tracevisualizer using <u>File</u>.trace and <u>File</u>.proc
as input and <u>File</u>.data as output.
</ul>
<p><i><font size=4>7.6 Dump the core events of the trace in a human-readable format </font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> tracedcore - running the trace decoder
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> tracedcore
<u>File</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
<p> This will run tracevisualizer using <u>File</u>.trace and <u>File</u>.proc
as input and <u>File</u>.data as output while only outputting the core kernel events.
</ul>
<p><i><font size=4>7.7 Analyze a trace </font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> traceanalyze - running the trace decoder while analyzing it
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> traceanalyze
<u>File</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
<p> This will run tracevisualizer using <u>File</u>.trace and <u>File</u>.proc
as input and <u>File</u>.data as output. Moreover, it uses the -a option of
tracevisualizer to analyze the content of the trace and uses -s to summarize the analysis.
</ul>
<p><i><font size=4>7.8 View trace graphically </font></i>
<br>
<ul>
<p><b>NAME</b>
<p> traceview - running the decoder in graphical mode
<p><b>SYNOPSIS</b>
<p> traceview
<u>File</u>
<p><b>DESCRIPTION</b>
