6 | The _Linux Trace Toolkit: next generation_ is an open source software | |
7 | toolkit used to simultaneously trace the Linux kernel, user applications, | |
8 | and user libraries. LTTng consists of <<lttng-modules,kernel modules>> | |
9 | (for Linux kernel tracing) and dynamically loaded | |
10 | <<lttng-ust,libraries>> (for user application and library tracing). | |
11 | A <<lttng-sessiond,session daemon>> controls the LTTng tracers after it | |
12 | receives commands from the <<lttng-cli,cmd:lttng command-line | |
13 | tool>>. | |
