|
||
|
|
In some situations, the target running a trace experiment may no
|
||
|
|
longer be available; perhaps it crashed, or the hardware was needed
|
||
|
|
for a different activity. To handle these cases, you can arrange to
|
||
|
|
dump the trace data into a file, and later use that file as a source
|
||
|
|
of trace data, via the <code>target tfile</code> command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-tsave-944"></a>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt><code>tsave [ -r ] </code><var>filename</var><dt><code>tsave [-ctf] </code><var>dirname</var><dd>Save the trace data to <var>filename</var>. By default, this command
|
||
|
|
assumes that <var>filename</var> refers to the host filesystem, so if
|
||
|
|
necessary <span class="sc">gdb</span> will copy raw trace data up from the target and
|
||
|
|
then save it. If the target supports it, you can also supply the
|
||
|
|
optional argument <code>-r</code> (“remote”) to direct the target to save
|
||
|
|
the data directly into <var>filename</var> in its own filesystem, which may be
|
||
|
|
more efficient if the trace buffer is very large. (Note, however, that
|
||
|
|
<code>target tfile</code> can only read from files accessible to the host.)
|
||
|
|
By default, this command will save trace frame in tfile format.
|
||
|
|
You can supply the optional argument <code>-ctf</code> to save data in CTF
|
||
|
|
format. The <dfn>Common Trace Format</dfn> (CTF) is proposed as a trace format
|
||
|
|
that can be shared by multiple debugging and tracing tools. Please go to
|
||
|
|
<<code>http://www.efficios.com/ctf</code>> to get more information.

|
||
|
|
a source of trace data. Commands that examine data work as they do with
|
||
|
|
a live target, but it is not possible to run any new trace experiments.
|
||
|
|
<code>tstatus</code> will report the state of the trace run at the moment
|
||
|
|
the data was saved, as well as the current trace frame you are examining.
|
||
|
|
Both <var>filename</var> and <var>dirname</var> must be on a filesystem accessible to
|
||
|
|
the host.
