PACKAGE CONTENTS:
A program to control the tracing of userspace applications. It can list
markers, start the tracing, stop the tracing, enable/disable markers, etc.
- - ustd
+ - include
+ The public header files that will be installed on the system.
+
+ - ust-consumerd
The daemon that collects trace data and writes it to the disk.
- - Documentation
+ - doc
+ The documentation.
- - hello
- An example application that uses the userspace tracer.
+ - tests
+ Various test programs
- - libmallocwrap
+ - libustinstr-malloc
An example library that can be LD_PRELOAD'ed to instrument calls to malloc()
in any program without need to recompile it.
- - libinterfork
+ - libustfork
A library that is LD_PRELOAD'ed, and that hijacks calls to several system
- calls in order to trace across these calls.
+ 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.
+
+ - libustctl
+ A library to control tracing in other processes. Used by ustctl.
+
+ - libustcomm
+ A static library shared between libust, ust-consumerd and libustctl, that
+ provides functions that allow these components to communicate together.
+
+ - libustconsumer
+ A library to create ust consumers by registering callbacks, used by
+ ust-consumerd.
+
+ - snprintf
+ An asynchronous signal-safe version of snprintf.
+
+ - java
+ A simple library that uses JNI to allow tracing in java programs.
