| 12 | [verse] | |

| 16 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 17 | ----------- | |
| 18 | The `lttng save` command saves the configurations of one or more | |
| 19 | tracing sessions to files. | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | The `lttng save` command is used in conjunction with the | |
| 74354842 | 22 | man:lttng-load(1) command to save and restore the complete |
| b3903b3a PP |
23 | configurations of tracing sessions. This includes the enabled channels |
| 24 | and event rules, the context added to channels, the tracing activity, | |
| 25 | and more. `lttng save` does not save tracing data, only the tracing | |
| 26 | session parameters. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | If 'SESSION' is omitted, all the existing tracing session configurations | |
| 29 | are saved (equivalent to using the option:--all option). Otherwise, | |
| 30 | 'SESSION' is the name of an existing tracing session. `lttng list` | |
| 74354842 | 31 | outputs all the existing tracing sessions (see man:lttng-list(1)). |
| b3903b3a PP |
32 | |
| 33 | The default output directory path is `$LTTNG_HOME/.lttng/sessions` | |
| 34 | (`$LTTNG_HOME` defaults to `$HOME`). Each tracing session configuration | |
| 35 | file is named `SESSION.lttng`, where `SESSION` is the original tracing | |
| 36 | session name. The default output directory path can be overridden with | |
| 37 | the option:--output-path option. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | By default, existing tracing session configuration files are not | |
| 40 | overwritten when saving; the command fails. The option:--force option | |
| 41 | can be used to allow this. | |

| 47 | option:-a, option:--all:: | |
| 48 | Save all tracing session configurations (default). | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | option:-f, option:--force:: | |
| 51 | Overwrite existing tracing session configuration files when | |
| 52 | saving. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | option:-o, option:--output-path='PATH':: | |
| 55 | Set output directory path to 'PATH'. | |
