Hi all, I'm new to ftrace and linux programming in general. Forgive me for asking dumb questions. I'm trying to continuously capture certain kernel events, convert them to a different format and then write them to a file. I understand that trace_pipe should be used for streaming. But I'm not sure how to read the content of trace_pipe at event boundary (I currently just read it to a temp buffer which would sometimes cut the last event in half). I discovered libtraceevent and libtracefs that I think are meant to help with this kind of tasks, so I'm reading the source code of trace-cmd to find examples. But so far the progress has been slow. Could anyone point me to the right direction, or advise me with a general outline of what I should do to achieve my task? Thanks, Lin
