17DESCRIPTION
18-----------
19The `lttng stop` command stops the various LTTng tracers for a given
20active tracing session.
21
5de63f6d 22Stopping the LTTng tracers has the effect that all enabled event rules
fb58d659
PP
23within enabled channels cannot make event sources _emit_ trace events
24anymore.
25
26A tracing session with no running tracers is said to be _inactive_.
27Inactive tracing sessions can be set active using the
7c1a4458 28man:lttng-start(1) command.

30If 'SESSION' is omitted, the LTTng tracers are stopped for the current
7c1a4458 31tracing session (see man:lttng-create(1) for more information
fb58d659
PP
32about the current tracing session). Otherwise, they are stopped for the
33existing tracing session named 'SESSION'. `lttng list`
7c1a4458 34outputs all the existing tracing sessions (see man:lttng-list(1)).

36By default, the `lttng stop` command ensures that the tracing session's
37trace data is valid before returning to the prompt. With the
38option:--no-wait option, the command finishes immediately, hence a local
39trace might not be valid when the command is done. In this case, there
40is no way to know when the trace becomes valid.
