 | Specify tracing options. | 
 |  | 
 | ``[enable=]PATTERN`` | 
 |  | 
 |   Immediately enable events matching *PATTERN* | 
 |   (either event name or a globbing pattern).  This option is only | 
 |   available if QEMU has been compiled with the ``simple``, ``log`` | 
 |   or ``ftrace`` tracing backend.  To specify multiple events or patterns, | 
 |   specify the :option:`-trace` option multiple times. | 
 |  | 
 |   Use :option:`-trace help` to print a list of names of trace points. | 
 |  | 
 | ``events=FILE`` | 
 |  | 
 |   Immediately enable events listed in *FILE*. | 
 |   The file must contain one event name (as listed in the ``trace-events-all`` | 
 |   file) per line; globbing patterns are accepted too.  This option is only | 
 |   available if QEMU has been compiled with the ``simple``, ``log`` or | 
 |   ``ftrace`` tracing backend. | 
 |  | 
 | ``file=FILE`` | 
 |  | 
 |   Log output traces to *FILE*. | 
 |   This option is only available if QEMU has been compiled with | 
 |   the ``simple`` tracing backend. |
