== NAME

babeltrace2-sink.text.pretty - Babeltrace 2's pretty-printing sink
component class


== DESCRIPTION

A Babeltrace~2 compcls:sink.text.pretty component pretty-prints the
events, discarded events, and discarded packets messages it consumes to
the standard output or to a file.

By default, a compcls:sink.text.pretty component pretty-prints to the
standard output. You can use the param:path parameter to make the
component write to a file instead.

The component prints warnings on the standard error stream when it
consumes a discarded events or discarded packets message.

If you don't use the param:path parameter and the application's standard
output is connected to a color-capable terminal, the component emits
terminal color codes to enhance the text output. You can use the
param:color parameter to force the color support or to disable it.

This component class is equivalent to the `text` output format of
man:babeltrace(1) (Babeltrace~1 command-line tool).


== INITIALIZATION PARAMETERS

param:clock-cycles=`yes` vtype:[optional boolean]::
    Print event times in clock cycles instead of hours, minutes,
    seconds, and nanoseconds.

param:clock-date=`yes` vtype:[optional boolean]::
    Print event times _and_ dates.

param:clock-gmt=`yes` vtype:[optional boolean]::
    Print event times in the GMT time zone instead of the local time
    zone.

param:clock-seconds=`yes` vtype:[optional boolean]::
    Print event times in seconds instead of hours, minutes,
    seconds, and nanoseconds.

param:color=(`never` | `auto` | `always`) vtype:[optional string]::

    streams are connected to a color-capable terminal.

`never`::
    Never emit terminal color codes.

`always`::

--
+
The `BABELTRACE_TERM_COLOR` environment variable overrides this
parameter.

    Show or hide the field names in the context scopes.

    default value of all the parameters which start with `name-`.

param:name-header=(`yes` | `no`) vtype:[optional boolean]::
    Show or hide the field names in the header scopes.

param:name-payload=(`yes` | `no`) vtype:[optional boolean]::
    Show or hide the field names in the event payload scopes.

param:name-scope=(`yes` | `no`) vtype:[optional boolean]::
    Show or hide the scope names.

    Do not print the time delta between consecutive lines.
