The results of an analysis process by GstShark yields Common Trace Format (CTF) files.

Standard format of results

The Common Trace Format files yielded by GstShark comply with the specification described by the Diagnostic and Monitoring workgroup (DiaMon) of the Linux Foundation. Details on the format are described at the DiaMon website.

The Common Trace Format (CTF) describes a very fast, yet flexible way of storing trace data. The data is stored in binary format, making it easy to be generated by C/C++ programs and hardware devices.
