NAME
       trace-cmd-convert - convert trace files

SYNOPSIS
       trace-cmd convert [OPTIONS] [output-file]

DESCRIPTION
       The trace-cmd(1) convert command converts trace file. It reads the
       input file and copies the data into an output file. The output file may
       be in different format, depending on the command line arguments. The
       default output is in version 7 and compressed (if compiled with
       compression support).

OPTIONS
       -i input-file
           By default, trace-cmd convert will read the file trace.dat. But the
           -i option open up the given input-file instead.

       -o out-file
           The name of the output file, this parameter is mandatory. Note, the
           output file may also be specified as the last item on the command
           line.

       --file-version
           Desired version of the output file. Supported versions are 6 or 7.

       --compression
           Compression of the trace output file, one of these strings can be
           passed:

               'any'  - auto select the best available compression algorithm

               'none' - do not compress the trace file

               'name' - the name of the desired compression algorithms. Available algorithms can be listed with
               trace-cmd list -c

       --help
           Print usage information.
