5.7 Translation
You can translate, or decompose, the events in a binary event log into a readable format using the translate command. Translation operates in manual mode, meaning you must enter the command every time you want to perform translation:
wsea tra [input inputfile] [out | outhtml outputfile] [filterstatement] [brief | full]For a detailed description of translation, see Chapter 8. In addition, Appendix shows examples of translated events.
To perform translation with another syntax, see Appendix E.
By default, translation processes the system event log. If you want to process a different binary log file, you must use the input keyword and specify the input file. See Section 5.10.1 for more information on input files.
By default, output from translation is displayed on the screen. To save output to a file, use either the out or the outhtml keyword and provide a file name. See Section 5.10.2 for more information on output files.
You can identify a subset of the events from a binary event log file that you want to translate by defining a filter. For more information on filtering, see Section 5.10.3.
You can specify either brief or full output for translation. See Section 8.2.3 for more information on the report types. The examples in Appendix show the difference between full and brief output.
