+TRACE-CMD-START(1)
+==================
+
+NAME
+----
+trace-cmd-start - start the Ftrace Linux kernel tracer without recording
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*trace-cmd start* ['OPTIONS']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The trace-cmd(1) start enables all the Ftrace tracing the same way
+trace-cmd-record(1) does. The difference is that it does not run threads to
+create a trace.dat file. This is useful just to enable Ftrace and you are only
+interested in the trace after some event has occurred and the trace is
+stopped. Then the trace can be read straight from the Ftrace pseudo file
+system or can be extracted with trace-cmd-extract(1).
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+The options are the same as 'trace-cmd-record(1)', except that it does not
+take options specific to recording (*-s*, *-o*, *-N*, and *-t*).
+
+*--fork* ::
+   This option is only available for trace-cmd start. It tells trace-cmd
+   to not wait for the process to finish before returning.
+   With this option, trace-cmd start will return right after it forks
+   the process on the command line. This option only has an effect if
+   trace-cmd start also executes a command.
