-i
file
If this option is not specified, then the split command will
look for the file named trace.dat. This options will allow
the reading of another file other than trace.dat.
-o
file
By default, the split command will use the input file name as
a basis of where to write the split files. The output file
will be the input file with an attached '.#\' to the end:
trace.dat.1, trace.dat.2, etc.
This option will change the name of the base file used.
-o file will create file.1, file.2, etc.
-s
seconds
This specifies how many seconds should be recorded before the
new file should stop.
-m
milliseconds
This specifies how many milliseconds should be recorded
before the new file should stop.
-u
microseconds
This specifies how many microseconds should be recorded
before the new file should stop.
-e
events
This specifies how many events should be recorded before the
new file should stop.
-p
pages
This specifies the number of pages that should be recorded
before the new file should stop.
Note: only one of *-p*, *-e*, *-u*, *-m*, *-s* may be specified at a time.
If *-p* is specified, then *-c* is automatically set.
-r
This option causes the break up to repeat until end-time is
reached (or end of the input if end-time is not specified).
trace-cmd split -r -e 10000
This will break up trace.dat into several smaller files, each with at most
10,000 events in it.
-c
This option causes the above break up to be per CPU.
trace-cmd split -c -p 10
This will create a file that has 10 pages per each CPU from the input.
-C
cpu
This option will split for a single CPU. Only the cpu named
will be extracted from the file.
trace-cmd split -C 1
This will split out all the events for cpu 1 in the file.
