.TP
.BR "\-\-overwrite"
-Flight recorder mode : overwrites events when subbuffers are full
+Flight recorder mode: overwrites events when subbuffers are full. The
+number of subbuffer must be 2 or more.
.TP
.BR "\-\-subbuf-size SIZE"
Subbuffer size in bytes {+k,+M,+G}.
.BR "\-C, \-\-tracefile-size SIZE"
Maximum size of each tracefile within a stream (in bytes).
0 means unlimited. (default: 0)
+Note: traces generated with this option may inaccurately report
+discarded events as of CTF 1.8.
.TP
.BR "\-W, \-\-tracefile-count COUNT"
Used in conjunction with \-C option, this will limit the number of files
Load tracing session configuration
If NAME is omitted, all session configurations found in both the user's session
-configuration directory and the system session configuration directory will be
-loaded.

+configuration directory (default: /etc/lttng/sessions/) will be loaded.
.B OPTIONS:
Load all session configurations (default).

.BR "\-i, \-\-input-path PATH"
-Specify the input path for session configurations.
+Specify the input path for session configurations. This overrides the default

.TP
.BR "\-f, -\-force"
Overwrite current session configuration(s) if a session of the same name
Save tracing session configuration
If SESSION is omitted, all session configurations will be saved to individual
-\fB.lttng\fP files under the user's session configuration directory. The
-default session configuration file naming scheme is \fBSESSION.lttng\fP.

.BR "\-f, -\-force"
Overwrite session configuration file if session name clashes.
Maximum size in bytes of the snapshot. The maxium size does not include the
metadata file. Human readable format is accepted: {+k,+M,+G}. For instance,
\-\-max-size 5M
+
+The minimum size of a snapshot is computed by multiplying the total amount of
+streams in the session by the largest subbuffer size. This is to ensure
+fairness between channels when extracting data.
.TP
.BR "\-C, \-\-ctrl-url URL"
Set control path URL. (Must use -D also)
