NAME

       tracy-import-chrome - Import chrome trace data into tracy

SYNOPSIS

       tracy-import-chrome input.json output.tracy

DESCRIPTION

       The following chrome-tracing phases are supported:

              b/B/e/E  -  Timeline  events such as ZoneNamed X - Timeline events such as ZoneNamed i/I - Message
              events such as TracyMessage * Messages containing the word "frame" are interpreted as frame events
              such as FrameMarkNamed C - Plot events such as TracyPlot M - Metadata  of  type  "thread_name"  is
              used to name threads

       Tracy can import traces compressed with the Zstandard algorithm (for example, using the zstd command-line
       utility).  Traces ending with .zst extension are assumed to be compressed.

       Chrome  tracing  format  doesn't  document  a way to provide source location data.  The import-chrome and
       import-fuchsia utilities will however recognize a custom loc tag in the root of zone begin  events.   You
       should  be formatting this data in the usual filename:line style, for example: hello.c:42.  Providing the
       line number (including a colon) is optional but highly recommended.

LIMITATIONS

       • Tracy is a single-process profiler.  Should the imported trace contain PID entries, each  PID+TID  pair
         will  create a new pseudo-TID number, which the profiler will then decode into a PID+TID pair in thread
         labels.  If you want to preserve the original TID numbers, your traces should omit PID entries.

       • The imported data may be severely limited, either by not mapping directly to the data  structures  used
         by Tracy or by following undocumented practices.
