55 PACKAGE CONTENTS:
56
57 This package contains the following elements.
58
59 - libust
60 The actual userspace tracing library that must be linked to the
61 instrumented programs.
62
63 - ustctl
64 A program to control the tracing of userspace applications. It can list
65 markers, start the tracing, stop the tracing, enable/disable markers, etc.
66
67 - include
68 The public header files that will be installed on the system.
69
70 - ust-consumerd
71 The daemon that collects trace data and writes it to the disk.
72
73 - doc
74 The documentation.
75
76 - tests
77 Various test programs
78
79 - libustinstr-malloc
80 An example library that can be LD_PRELOAD'ed to instrument calls to malloc()
81 in any program without need to recompile it.
82
83 - libustfork
84 A library that is LD_PRELOAD'ed, and that hijacks calls to several system
85 calls in order to trace across these calls. It _has_ to be LD_PRELOAD'ed
86 in order to hijack calls. In contrast, libust may be linked at build time.
87
88 - libustctl
89 A library to control tracing in other processes. Used by ustctl.
90
91 - libustcomm
92 A static library shared between libust, ust-consumerd and libustctl, that
93 provides functions that allow these components to communicate together.
94
95 - libustconsumer
96 A library to create ust consumers by registering callbacks, used by
97 ust-consumerd.
98
99 - snprintf
100 An asynchronous signal-safe version of snprintf.
101
102 - java
103 A simple library that uses JNI to allow tracing in java programs.
