<p>The trace file comes in three parts: a header, a textual description
|
||
|
|
section, and a trace frame section with binary data.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The header has the form <code>\x7fTRACE0\n</code>. The first byte is
|
||
|
|
<code>0x7f</code> so as to indicate that the file contains binary data,
|
||
|
|
while the <code>0</code> is a version number that may have different values
|
||
|
|
in the future.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The description section consists of multiple lines of <small>ASCII</small> text
|
||
|
|
separated by newline characters (<code>0xa</code>). The lines may include a
|
||
|
|
variety of optional descriptive or context-setting information, such
|
||
|
|
as tracepoint definitions or register set size. <small>GDB</small> will
|
||
|
|
ignore any line that it does not recognize. An empty line marks the end
|
||
|
|
of this section.

||
|

<p>The trace frame section consists of a number of consecutive frames.
|
||
|
|
Each frame begins with a two-byte tracepoint number, followed by a
|
||
|
|
four-byte size giving the amount of data in the frame. The data in
|
||
|
|
the frame consists of a number of blocks, each introduced by a
|
||
|
|
character indicating its type (at least register, memory, and trace
|
||
|
|
state variable). The data in this section is raw binary, not a
|
||
|
|
hexadecimal or other encoding; its endianness matches the target’s
|
||
|
|
endianness.
