Indeed the index is a concept in babeltrace, I should have mentionned it. When you open a trace with Babeltrace (or with the API), before printing the trace it generates an index in memory in order to have a mapping between the trace packets and their position in the trace files. I hope it makes this proposal clearer. Julien _______________________________________________ lttng-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lttng.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lttng-dev
