The point of this file was to be easily usable by applications that want
to generate capture files (or proxy them). The intention here is that we
only have SpCaptureReader/SpCaptureWriter (and associated bits necessary
to support that).
This makes sure that we do not use GObject from the libsysprof-capture-2.a
while still having GType's in the libsysprof-2.so dynamic library.
We also invert the GObject macro check so that the default is to not
register a GType which increases the chances that copy/paste code does
not run into double-registering a GType if used with an application that
links against libsysprof-2. (One such example could be if Gtk uses this
code for timers, as it would break Sysprof itself).
This currently isn't installed, but it is useful for joining streams
together when working on sysprof data acquisition. We may want to install
it at some point in the future.
sysprof-cat file1 file2 file3 > out.syscap
This allows external tooling to write capture files that Sysprof can open.
Ideally, this will get used by GJS in the near future to implement profiler
output for Sysprof.
