# intel\_aubdump(1)

Launch an application and capture rendering to an AUB

## NAME

intel\_aubdump - Launch an application and capture rendering to an AUB

## 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.
