  17 DESCRIPTION
  18 -----------
  19 The `lttng view` command launches an external trace viewer to view the
  20 current trace of a tracing session.
  21
  22 If 'SESSION' is omitted, the viewer is launched for the current tracing
  23 session (see man:lttng-create(1) for more information
  24 about the current tracing session). Otherwise, it is launched for the
  25 existing tracing session named 'SESSION'. `lttng list`
  26 outputs all the existing tracing sessions (see man:lttng-list(1)).
  27
  28 By default, the man:babeltrace2(1) trace viewer is launched. If it is
  29 not found on the system, the man:babeltrace(1) trace viewer is
  30 used.
  31 Another trace viewer command can be specified using the
  32 option:--viewer option.
  33
  34 By default, the trace path of the chosen tracing session is given
  35 as the first positional argument to the trace viewer. This path can
  36 be overridden using the option:--trace-path option.
