uftrace-tui - (Interactive) Text-based User Interface
uftrace tui [options]
This command starts an interactive window on a terminal which can show same output of other commands like graph, report and info. Users can navigate the result easily with key presses. The command line options are used to limit the initial data loading.
-f FIELD, --output-fields=FIELD
: Customize fields in the output. This option basically indicates graph fields.
Possible values are total, self and addr. The default value is 'total'.
But if this option is used with --report option,
this option indicates report fields. Possible values are total, total-avg,
total-min, total-max, total-stdv, self, self-avg, self-min, self-max,
self-stdv, call and size.
The default value is 'total,self,call'.
Multiple fields can be set by using comma.
If given field name starts with "+", then it'll be appended to the default fields.
The special field 'none' can be used (solely) to hide all fields.
See uftrace-graph
(1) or uftrace-report
(1) for an explanation of fields.
The stdv
in total-stdv and self-stdv stands for relative standard deviation (RSD),
it would only contain value if the function is invoked multiple times.
-s KEYS[,KEYS,...], --sort=KEYS[,KEYS,...] : Sort functions by given KEYS. Multiple KEYS can be given, separated by comma (,). Possible keys are total (time), total-avg, total-min, total-max, self (time), self-avg, self-min, self-max, call, func and size. This option must be used with --report option.
-F FUNC, --filter=FUNC
: Set filter to trace selected functions and their children functions.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay
(1) for an explanation of filters.
-N FUNC, --notrace=FUNC
: Set filter not to trace selected functions and their children functions.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay
(1) for an explanation of filters.
-C FUNC, --caller-filter=FUNC
: Set filter to trace callers of selected functions only.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay
(1) for an explanation of filters.
-T TRG, --trigger=TRG
: Set trigger on selected functions. This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay
(1) for an explanation of triggers.
-D DEPTH, --depth DEPTH : Set trace limit in nesting level.
-t TIME, --time-filter=TIME : Do not show functions which run under the time threshold. If some functions explicitly have the 'trace' trigger applied, those are always traced regardless of execution time.
-Z SIZE, --size-filter=SIZE : Do not show functions smaller than SIZE bytes.
-L LOCATION, --loc-filter=LOCATION : Set filter to trace selected source locations. This option can be used more than once. See FILTERS.
--no-libcall : Do not show library calls.
--no-event
: Do not show any events. Implies --no-sched
.
--no-sched : Do not show schedule events.
--no-sched-preempt : Do not show preempt schedule events but show regular(sleeping) schedule events.
--match=TYPE
: Use pattern match using TYPE. Possible types are regex
and glob
.
Default is regex
.
--with-syms=DIR : Read symbol data from the .sym files in DIR directory instead of the binary. This can be useful to deal with stripped binaries. The file name of the main binary should be the same when saved and used.
-H FUNC, --hide=FUNC
: Set filter not to trace selected functions.
It doesn't affect their subtrees, but hides only the given functions.
This option can be used more than once.
See uftrace-replay
(1) for an explanation of filters.
--kernel-full : Show all kernel functions called outside of user functions.
--kernel-only : Show kernel functions only without user functions.
--event-full : Show all (user) events outside of user functions.
--tid=TID[,TID,...]
: Only print functions called by the given tasks. To see the list of
tasks in the data file, you can use uftrace report --task
or
uftrace info
. This option can also be used more than once.
--demangle=TYPE : Use demangled C++ symbol names for filters, triggers, arguments and/or return values. Possible values are "full", "simple" and "no". Default is "simple" which ignores function arguments and template parameters.
-r RANGE, --time-range=RANGE
: Only show functions executed within the time RANGE. The RANGE can be
<start><stop> (separated by "") and one of <start> and <stop> can
be omitted. The <start> and <stop> are timestamp or elapsed time if
they have <time_unit> postfix, for example '100us'. The timestamp or
elapsed time can be shown with -f time
or -f elapsed
option respectively
in uftrace replay
(1).
If there's only one session (the usual case) it'll start with the graph mode to
show a full (function) call graph of the session. Users can change to different
mode by pressing some keys. The h
key always is available for help.
The current line (marked with '>' below) is displayed with inverted color and arrow keys are used to move the cursor to a different location.

If there're more than one session, it'll start with session selection mode. The graph mode is separated for each session but report mode is merged for the whole sessions.
