.SH "NAME"
trace-cmd-stream \- stream a trace to stdout as it is happening
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBtrace\-cmd stream [\fR\fB\fIOPTIONS\fR\fR\fB]\fR [\fIcommand\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The trace\-cmd(1) stream will start tracing just like trace\-cmd\-record(1), except it will not record to a file and instead it will read the binary buffer as it is happening, convert it to a human readable format and write it to stdout\&.
.sp
This is basically the same as trace\-cmd\-start(1) and then doing a trace\-cmd\-show(1) with the \fB\-p\fR option\&. trace\-cmd\-stream is not as efficient as reading from the pipe file as most of the stream work is done in userspace\&. This is useful if it is needed to do the work mostly in userspace instead of the kernel, and stream also helps to debug trace\-cmd\-profile(1) which uses the stream code to perform the live data analysis for the profile\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
These are the same as trace\-cmd\-record(1), except that it does not take
the *\-o* option\&.
