| 4 | Welcome to the **LTTng Documentation**! | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | The _Linux Trace Toolkit: next generation_ is an open source software | |
| 7 | toolkit used to simultaneously trace the Linux kernel, user applications, | |
| 8 | and user libraries. LTTng consists of <<lttng-modules,kernel modules>> | |
| 9 | (for Linux kernel tracing) and dynamically loaded | |
| 10 | <<lttng-ust,libraries>> (for user application and library tracing). | |
| 11 | A <<lttng-sessiond,session daemon>> controls the LTTng tracers after it | |
| 12 | receives commands from the <<lttng-cli,cmd:lttng command-line | |
| 13 | tool>>. | |
