.SH "NAME"
trace-cmd-check-events \- parse the event formats on local system
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBtrace\-cmd check\-events\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The trace\-cmd(1) check\-events parses format strings for all the events on the local system\&. It returns whether all the format strings can be parsed correctly\&. It will load plugins unless specified otherwise\&.
.sp
This is useful to check for any trace event format strings which may contain some internal kernel function references which cannot be decoded outside of the kernel\&. This may mean that either the unparsed format strings of the trace events need to be changed or that a plugin needs to be created to parse them\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.sp
\fB\-N\fR \- Don\(cqt load plugins
