* Package name    : traceshark
  Version         : 0.9.9-beta
  Upstream Author : Viktor Rosendahl <viktor.rosendahl@gmail.com>

  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : This is a graphical viewer for the Ftrace and Perf events that can be captured by the Linux kernel.

It can be used to visualize the following events:

cpu_frequency
cpu_idle
sched_migrate_task
sched_process_exit
sched_process_fork
sched_switch
sched_wakeup
sched_wakeup_new
sched_waking

The trace can be collected using trace-cmd or perf. The filtered trace
file from traceshark can be used with flamegraph to generate image.

Debian alreday has kernel-shark as a viewer of ftrace traces, but this
has the advantage of converting to an image and also taking screenshots
of the plot.
