76 > Linux Trace Toolkit (LTT) is a tracing tool that permits to get all the possible
77 execution information from the Linux Kernel. It is based on kernel
78 instrumentation and a high-speed relay file system to copy the information from
79 the kernel space to the user space.
82 > Linux Trace Toolkit Viewer (LTTV) is the second generation of visualization
84 based on a trace format (the files where the data is recorded on disk) slightly
85 different from LTT. As for now, November
29,
2004, the implementation of the new
86 trace format in LTT is still not done, we must use a conversion tool to
87 transform the original LTT traces to the new format.
90 > This document explains all the steps that are necessary in order to record a
91 trace with LTT and view it with LTTV.
