Control Functions

The first group can be regarded as Klogger control functions, used in automated workload generating scripts. These are just wrappers for the basic shell commands introduces so far:

• klogger_start_logging()
  As the same says: starts logging! (an equivalent to writing ``1'' into /proc/sys/klogger/enabled).

• klogger_stop_logging()
  Another surprise: the function simply stops the logging! (equivalent to writing ``1'' into /proc/sys/klogger/enabled).

• klogger_dump2txt(kernel_home, dumpfile, txtfile)
  Convert a binary dump file into the textual log format. The arguments are:
  • kernel_home: the path to Klogger's kernel source tree. Needed for the binary2text decoder.

  • dumpfile: the binary file to be converted.

  • txtfile: the output text file.
