The _Linux Trace Toolkit: next generation_ is an open source software -toolkit used to simultaneously trace the Linux kernel, user applications, -and user libraries. LTTng consists of <> -(for Linux kernel tracing) and dynamically loaded -<> (for user application and library tracing). -A <> controls the LTTng tracers after it -receives commands from the <>. +toolkit which you can use to simultaneously trace the Linux kernel, user +applications, and user libraries. + +LTTng consists of: + +* Kernel modules to trace the Linux kernel. +* Shared libraries to trace user applications written in C or C++. +* Java packages to trace Java applications which use `java.util.logging` + or Apache log4j 1.2. +* A Python package to trace Python applications which use the standard + `logging` package. +* A kernel module to trace shell scripts and other user applications + without a dedicated instrumentation mechanism. +* Daemons and a command-line tool, cmd:lttng, to control the + LTTng tracers.
