Intel(R) Processor Trace Decoder Library
========================================
The Intel Processor Trace (Intel PT) Decoder Library is Intel's reference
implementation for decoding Intel PT. It can be used as a standalone library or
it can be partially or fully integrated into your tool.
The library comes with a set of sample tools built on top of it and a test
system built on top of the sample tools. The samples demonstrate how to use the
library and may serve as a starting point for integrating the library into your
tool.
