.TH reset-ftrace 8  "2014-07-07" "USER COMMANDS"
.SH NAME
reset-ftrace \- reset state of ftrace, disabling all tracing. Written for Linux ftrace.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B reset-ftrace
[\-fhq]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This resets the state of various ftrace files, and shows the before and after
state.

This may only be of use to ftrace hackers who, in the process of developing
ftrace software, often get the subsystem into a partially active state, and
would like a quick way to reset state. Check the end of this script for the
actually files reset, and add more if you need.

WARNING: Only use this if and when you are sure that there are no other active
ftrace sessions on your system, as otherwise it will kill them.
