+Start an inactive tracing session with the man:lttng-start(1) command.
+
+By default, the `stop` command ensures that the trace data of the
+selected tracing session is valid before it exits. Make the command exit
+immediately with the option:--no-wait option. In this case, however, the
+traces(s) might not be valid when the command exits, and there's no way
+to know when it/they becomes valid.
+
+If LTTng archived the current trace chunk (see man:lttng-rotate(1) and
+man:lttng-enable-rotation(1)) of the selected tracing session at least
+once during its lifetime, the `stop` command renames the current trace
+chunk subdirectory and prints the renamed path. Although it's safe to
+read the content of this renamed subdirectory while the tracing session
+remains inactive, it's :not: a trace chunk archive: you need to destroy
+the tracing session with man:lttng-destroy(1) or perform a rotation with
+man:lttng-rotate(1) to archive it.
