INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
- Download, compile and install liburcu.
- In this package's tree, run ./configure.
- Run make.
- Run make install.
- Run ldconfig.
- See the manual for usage instructions.
If compiling from the git repository, run ./bootstrap before running
the configure script, to generate it.
TRACE VIEWER:
LTTV is used for viewing UST traces. LTTV may be obtained at
http://lttng.org in the Downloads section.
This release has been tested with LTTV 0.12.32.
PACKAGE CONTENTS:
This package contains the following elements.
- libust
The actual userspace tracing library that must be linked to the
instrumented programs.
- ustctl
A program to control the tracing of userspace applications. It can list
markers, start the tracing, stop the tracing, enable/disable markers, etc.
- include
The public header files that will be installed on the system.
- ustd
The daemon that collects trace data and writes it to the disk.
- doc
The documentation.
- tests
Various test programs
- libustinstr-malloc
An example library that can be LD_PRELOAD'ed to instrument calls to malloc()
in any program without need to recompile it.
- libustfork
A library that is LD_PRELOAD'ed, and that hijacks calls to several system
calls in order to trace across these calls. It _has_ to be LD_PRELOAD'ed
in order to hijack calls. In contrast, libust may be linked at build time.
- libustcmd
A library to control tracing in other processes. Used by ustctl.
- libustcomm
A static library shared between libust, ustd and libustcmd, that provides
functions that allow these components to communicate together.
- snprintf
An asynchronous signal-safe version of snprintf.
- java
A simple library that uses JNI to allow tracing in java programs.
