Basically, you have two buffers: an active one, and a static one. When you echo 1 into the snapshot file, it swaps the two buffers. The active one becomes the static one, and the static one becomes the active one. This allows you to save off a trace while tracing continues. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-trace-users" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
