intel_aubdump(1)

NAME
intel_aubdump - Launch an application and capture rendering to an AUB file

SYNOPSIS
intel_aubdump [OPTION]... -- COMMAND [ARGUMENTS]

DESCRIPTION

Run COMMAND with ARGUMENTS and dump an AUB file that captures buffer contents and execution of the i915 GEM application.

-v  Enable verbose mode.

--help
    Output a usage message and exit.

-o FILE, --output=FILE
    Write the trace output to the file FILE. Default is COMMAND.aub.

--device=ID
    Override the PCI ID of the drm device. This is useful for getting an aub dump for a different generation of GPU. In this mode intel_aubdump will intercept but not forward the execbuffer2 ioctl, as that would typically cause a GPU hang.

EXAMPLES

intel_aubdump -v --output=stuff.aub -- glxgears -geometry 500x500
    Launches glxgears with its -geometry option and enables aub dumping with the -v and --output=stuff.aub options.
