Updated to:

You can start the session daemon by invoking the command "ltt-sessiond",
or let the lttng command line tool do it for you. The session daemon
loads the LTTng tracer modules for you if those modules can be found on
your system. If they are not found, the kernel tracing feature will be
unavailable.

Updated to:

The tool "Babeltrace" can be used to dump your binary trace into a 
human-readable text format. Please see
http://www.efficios.com/babeltrace and git tree
http://git.efficios.com/?p=babeltrace.git


Thanks for the feedback!
