+ directory path on the local file system.
+
+Network streaming and live modes:::
+ Equivalent to using both the option:--ctrl-url and option:--data-url
+ options.
+
+Snapshot mode (option:--snapshot option):::
+ Equivalent to using the 'URL' non-option argument of the
+ `add-output` action of the man:lttng-snapshot(1) command immediately
+ after creating the recording session.
