[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3974 bytes --]
From: Alan D. Brunelle <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com>
Cleaned out the btt/README file.
The documentation under btt/doc/btt.tex is current, while this is woefully
out of date.

-You are required to specify an input file (-i)
-
-The -d option allows you to specify the granularity which determines
-"activity" with regard to the .dat files -- this specific the time
-(in seconds) that must elapse without a particular event occuring to
-signify inactivity. The larger the number, the fewer ranges output --
-the default is 0.1 seconds.
-
-The -D option supplies the devices which should be looked at when
-analyzing the input. This is a ":" separated list of devices, devices are
-specified by a mjr,mnr tuple (e.g.: -D "8,0:8,8" specifies two devices
-with major 8 and minor 0 and 8 respectively).
-
-The -e option supplies the list of executables that will have I/Os
-analyzed.
-
-The -I option directs btt to output iostat-like data to the specified
-file. Refer to the iostat (sysstat) documentation for details on the
-data columns. The -S option specifies the interval to use between data
-output, it defaults to once per second.
-
-The -l and -q options allow one to output per-IO D2C and Q2C latencies
-respectively. The supplied argument provides the basis for the output
-name for each device.
-
-The -M option takes in a file generated by the provided script
-(gen_disk_info.py), and allows for better output of device names.
-
-The -p option will generate a file that contains a list of all IO
-"sequences" - showing the parts of each IO (Q, A, I/M, D, & C).
-
-The -s option instructs btt to output seek data, the argument provided
-is the basis for file names output. There are two files per device,
-read seeks and write seeks.
-
-The -t/-T options allow one to set a start and/or end time for analyzing
-- analyzing will only be done for traces after -t's argument and before
--T's argument. (-t and -T are optional, so if you specify just -t,
-analysis will occur for all traces after the time specified. Similarly,
-if only -T is specified, analysis stops after -T's seconds.)
-
-Overview
---------
-
-btt will take in binary dump data from blkparse, and analyze the events,
-producing a series of output from the analysis. It will also build .dat
-files containing "range data" -- showing things like Q activity (periods
-of time while Q events are being produced), C activity (likewise for
-command completions), and etc.
+Please refer to the documentation for details.
