SYNOPSIS
========

**intel_aubdump** [*OPTIONS*] -- *COMMAND* [*ARGUMENTS*]

DESCRIPTION
===========

Run COMMAND with ARGUMENTS and dump an AUB file that captures buffer contents
and execution of the i915 GEM application.

OPTIONS
=======

-v
    Enable verbose mode.

--help
    Output a usage message and exit.

-o FILE, --output=FILE
    Write the trace output to the file FILE. Default is COMMAND.aub.

--device=ID
    Override the PCI ID of the drm device. This is useful for getting an aub
    dump for a different generation of GPU. In this mode **intel_aubdump** will
    intercept but not forward the execbuffer2 ioctl, as that would typically
    cause a GPU hang.

EXAMPLES
========

intel_aubdump -v --output=stuff.aub -- glxgears -geometry 500x500
    Launches glxgears with its -geometry option and enables aub dumping with
    the -v and --output=stuff.aub options.
