== COMPONENT CLASSES

compcls:source.text.dmesg::
    Reads the lines of a Linux kernel ring buffer, that is, the output
    of the man:dmesg(1) tool, and emits each line as an event message.
+
See man:babeltrace2-source.text.dmesg(7).

compcls:sink.text.details::
    Deterministically prints the messages it consumes with details to
    the standard output.
+
See man:babeltrace2-sink.text.details(7).

compcls:sink.text.pretty::
    Pretty-prints the messages it consumes to the standard output or to
    a file.
+
This is equivalent to the `text` output format of man:babeltrace(1)
(Babeltrace~1).
+
See man:babeltrace2-sink.text.pretty(7).
