| 7 | lttng-destroy - Destroy an LTTng tracing session | |
| 8 | ||

| 10 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 11 | -------- | |
| 12 | [verse] | |
| d0d2c3e4 | 13 | *lttng* ['linkgenoptions:(GENERAL OPTIONS)'] *destroy* [option:--no-wait] [option:--all | 'SESSION'] |

| 16 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 17 | ----------- | |
| 18 | The `lttng destroy` command destroys one or more tracing sessions. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | If no options are specified, the current tracing session is destroyed | |
| 7c1a4458 | 21 | (see man:lttng-create(1) for more information about the current |
| 7bf169bd PP |
22 | tracing session). |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | If 'SESSION' is specified, the existing tracing session named 'SESSION' | |
| 25 | is destroyed. `lttng list` outputs all the existing tracing sessions | |
| 7c1a4458 | 26 | (see man:lttng-list(1)). |

27 | |
| 28 | If the option:--all option is used, *all* the tracing sessions, as listed | |
| 29 | in the output of `lttng list`, are destroyed. | |

31 | Destroying a tracing session stops any tracing running within the |
| 32 | latter. By default, the implicit man:lttng-stop(1) command invoked by | |
| 33 | the `lttng destroy` command ensures that the tracing session's trace | |
| 34 | data is valid before returning. With the option:--no-wait option, the | |
| 35 | man:lttng-stop(1) command finishes immediately, hence a local trace | |
| 36 | might not be valid when the command is done. In this case, there is no | |
| 37 | way to know when the trace becomes valid. | |

38 | |
| 39 | Destroying a tracing session does not destroy the recorded trace data, | |
| 40 | if any; it frees resources acquired by the session daemon and tracer | |
| 41 | side, making sure to flush all trace data. | |
