output Flag

The --output flag is used to specify the destination for the command's output. This flag can be set to stdout or a file location.

• stdout: This is the default output destination, which means that the command's output will be displayed on the terminal. This is convenient for users who want to see immediate results directly in their console.

Example:

traceectl stream --output stdout

In this example, the command outputs the streamed events to the terminal.

• File Output: You can use the --output flag to direct the output to a specific file. This is useful if you want to save the output for later analysis or for documentation purposes.

Example:

traceectl stream --output file:/path/to/output.txt

In this example, the command saves the streamed events to the file located at /path/to/output.txt. This is especially helpful for logging purposes or when working with large amounts of data that need to be stored for further processing.
