Babeltrace 2 is a trace manipulation toolkit. The Babeltrace 2 project offers a library with a C API, Python 3 bindings, and a command-line tool which makes it very easy for mere mortals to view, convert, transform, and analyze traces. See <https://babeltrace.org/> for more details. Babeltrace 2 is a major update of Babeltrace 1 (Buildroot package `lttng-babeltrace`). Both projects are coinstallable. Except for the command-line tool (named `babeltrace2`), the Babeltrace 2 project is not backward compatible with Babeltrace 1. I'm naming this package `babeltrace2` instead of `lttng-babeltrace2` because, although it can read LTTng traces, the two projects are independent. All major distributions use `babeltrace2` as the Babeltrace 2 package's name. I'm keeping the `lttng-babeltrace` package because, as of this date, we still add bug and security fixes from time to time, therefore the project is not in EOL stage. Some external, custom packages could still depend on the Babeltrace 1 library, for example. As with `lttng-babeltrace`, you can build and install the host version of Babeltrace 2 for the workflow where you trace the target, download the resulting trace (or receive it during the tracing process), and then read and analyze it with Babeltrace 2. If you enable the `elfutils` package (`BR2_PACKAGE_ELFUTILS`), then support for Babeltrace 2's debugging information filter component class is enabled. Tested with glibc, uClibc-ng, and musl.

Babeltrace 2 is an open-source trace manipulation toolkit.
|
|
|
|
The Babeltrace 2 project offers a library with a C API,
|
|
Python 3 bindings, and a command-line tool which makes it
|
|
very easy for mere mortals to view, convert, transform, and
|
|
analyze traces.
|
|
|
|
Babeltrace 2 is also the reference parser implementation of
|
|
the Common Trace Format (CTF), a very versatile trace format
|
|
followed by various tracers and tools such as LTTng and
|
|
barectf. The Babeltrace 2 library and its Python bindings
|
|
can read and write CTF traces.
