NAME         top

       babeltrace2-help - Get help for a Babeltrace 2 plugin or
       component class

SYNOPSIS         top

       The help command prints the details and help text of either the
       Babeltrace 2 plugin named PLUGIN-NAME or the specific component
       class of type COMP-CLS-TYPE named COMP-CLS-NAME found in the
       plugin named PLUGIN-NAME.

       project and its core concepts.

       The available values for COMP-CLS-TYPE are:

           Filter component class.

       sink
           Sink component class.

       See “EXAMPLES” for usage examples.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES         top

   Babeltrace 2 library
       BABELTRACE_EXEC_ON_ABORT=CMDLINE
           Execute the command line CMDLINE, as parsed like a UNIX 98
           shell, when any part of the Babeltrace 2 project unexpectedly
           aborts.

           The application only aborts when the executed command
           returns, ignoring its exit status.

           This environment variable is ignored when the application has
           the setuid or the setgid access right flag set.

       BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR=(AUTO | NEVER | ALWAYS)
           Force the terminal color support for the babeltrace2(1)
           program and the project’s plugins.

           The available values are:

           AUTO
               Only emit terminal color codes when the standard output
               and error streams are connected to a color-capable
               terminal.

           NEVER
               Never emit terminal color codes.

           ALWAYS
               Always emit terminal color codes.

       BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR_BRIGHT_MEANS_BOLD=0
           Set to 0 to emit SGR (see
           <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code>) codes 90 to
           97 for bright colors instead of bold (SGR code 1) and
           standard color codes (SGR codes 30 to 37).

       BABELTRACE_PLUGIN_PATH=PATHS
           Set the list of directories, in order, in which dynamic
           plugins can be found before other directories are considered
           to PATHS (colon-separated, or semicolon on Windows).

       LIBBABELTRACE2_DISABLE_PYTHON_PLUGINS=1
           Disable the loading of any Babeltrace 2 Python plugin.

       LIBBABELTRACE2_INIT_LOG_LEVEL=LVL
           Force the Babeltrace 2 library’s initial log level to be LVL.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the log
           level set by the --log-level option for the Babeltrace 2
           library logger.

           The available values for LVL are:

           NONE, N
               Logging is disabled.

           FATAL, F
               Severe errors that lead the execution to abort
               immediately.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           ERROR, E
               Errors that might still allow the execution to continue.

               Usually, once one or more errors are reported at this
               level, the application, plugin, or library won’t perform
               any more useful task, but it should still exit cleanly.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           WARN, WARNING, W
               Unexpected situations which still allow the execution to
               continue.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           INFO, I
               Informational messages that highlight progress or
               important states of the application, plugins, or library.

               This level can be enabled in production.

           DEBUG, D
               Debugging information, with a higher level of details
               than the TRACE level.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

           TRACE, T
               Low-level debugging context information.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

       LIBBABELTRACE2_NO_DLCLOSE=1
           Make the Babeltrace 2 library leave any dynamically loaded
           modules (plugins and plugin providers) open at exit. This can
           be useful for debugging purposes.

       LIBBABELTRACE2_PLUGIN_PROVIDER_DIR=DIR
           Set the directory from which the Babeltrace 2 library
           dynamically loads plugin provider shared objects to DIR.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the default
           plugin provider directory.

   Babeltrace 2 Python bindings
       BABELTRACE_PYTHON_BT2_LOG_LEVEL=LVL
           Force the Babeltrace 2 Python bindings log level to be LVL.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the log
           level set by the --log-level option for the Python bindings
           logger.

           The available values for LVL are:

           NONE, N
               Logging is disabled.

           FATAL, F
               Severe errors that lead the execution to abort
               immediately.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           ERROR, E
               Errors that might still allow the execution to continue.

               Usually, once one or more errors are reported at this
               level, the application, plugin, or library won’t perform
               any more useful task, but it should still exit cleanly.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           WARN, WARNING, W
               Unexpected situations which still allow the execution to
               continue.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           INFO, I
               Informational messages that highlight progress or
               important states of the application, plugins, or library.

               This level can be enabled in production.

           DEBUG, D
               Debugging information, with a higher level of details
               than the TRACE level.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

           TRACE, T
               Low-level debugging context information.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

   CLI
       BABELTRACE_CLI_LOG_LEVEL=LVL
           Force babeltrace2 CLI’s log level to be LVL.

           If this environment variable is set, it overrides the log
           level set by the --log-level option for the CLI logger.

           The available values for LVL are:

           NONE, N
               Logging is disabled.

           FATAL, F
               Severe errors that lead the execution to abort
               immediately.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           ERROR, E
               Errors that might still allow the execution to continue.

               Usually, once one or more errors are reported at this
               level, the application, plugin, or library won’t perform
               any more useful task, but it should still exit cleanly.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           WARN, WARNING, W
               Unexpected situations which still allow the execution to
               continue.

               This level should be enabled in production.

           INFO, I
               Informational messages that highlight progress or
               important states of the application, plugins, or library.

               This level can be enabled in production.

           DEBUG, D
               Debugging information, with a higher level of details
               than the TRACE level.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

           TRACE, T
               Low-level debugging context information.

               This level should NOT be enabled in production.

       BABELTRACE_CLI_WARN_COMMAND_NAME_DIRECTORY_CLASH=0
           Disable the warning message which babeltrace2-convert(1)
           prints when you convert a trace with a relative path that’s
           also the name of a babeltrace2 command.

       BABELTRACE_DEBUG=1
           Legacy variable: equivalent to setting the --log-level option
           to TRACE.

       BABELTRACE_VERBOSE=1
           Legacy variable: equivalent to setting the --log-level option
           to INFO.
