trace-cmd: Stop the tracing but retain the buffers.
$ trace-cmd stop
try on your machine

The command "trace-cmd stop" is used to stop collecting trace data in a Linux system.

In Linux, tracing allows logging and monitoring of system events, such as system calls, interrupts, and function calls, to diagnose performance issues and debug problems. Trace-cmd is a tracing tool that captures and analyzes this trace data.

When you execute the "trace-cmd stop" command, it tells the trace-cmd to stop capturing trace data. It terminates the tracing session that was previously started using the "trace-cmd start" command. Once stopped, the collected trace data can be analyzed or processed further to gain insights into system behavior or to find bottlenecks or errors.
