While a UNIX path will be returned when a session is configured to trace locally, a liblttng-ctl user should not expect this field to contain a valid URL when a network streaming (or live) output destination is configured. The "path" field will hold a custom-formatted string describing the output. This is arguably unexepected, but since this is currently the only way to obtain the destination of an existing session, this format will not be changed to preserve compatiblity with existing tools which could rely on this format. A description of the formating used by the session daemon is added as part of this patch. Signed-off-by: Jérémie Galarneau ---
