[ltt-dev] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Babeltrace CTF <-> log file conversion is ready !

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi!

I am glad to announce that Babeltrace now works to convert between a
text log format (e.g. including dmesg with [sec.usec] string) and CTF.

e.g.:

To convert from dmesg output to CTF (the "-t" means "with timestamps"):

% dmesg | babeltrace-log -t filename
% ls filename/
datastream  metadata

To convert from CTF to text:

% babeltrace filename

You can try babeltrace -h for help.

Source available with (see README file):
git clone git://git.efficios.com/babeltrace.git

Comments are welcome. Please note that the text output pretty-printing
is not entirely pretty as it is now (event names are not printed, nor
are field names). It should come soon.

Thanks,

Mathieu
