Common Trace Format (CTF)

The common trace format specifies a trace format based on the requirements of the industry (through collaboration with the Multicore Association) and the Linux community. We propose a subset of CTF for use with Linux as a reference.

BabelTrace is a trace conversion library between CTF and other trace formats, which serves as a reference implementation of the Linux trace format.
