Tracepdb

Tracepdb (tracepdb.exe) is a command-line tool that creates trace message format (.tmf) files by extracting trace message formatting instructions from the full or private PDB symbol file for a trace provider that uses WPP software tracing macros.

Tracepdb.exe is located in the \tools\tracing directory of the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

You can provide the private PDB symbol file for the trace provider or Tracepdb can find the provider's private PDB symbol file in a directory or by using an internal symbol server. Tracepdb runs on Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows.

Note  Tracefmt, a tool that formats and displays trace messages, can now also create TMF files from PDB symbol files. For information, see Tracefmt.

Important  Tracepdb requires the newest version of Dbghelp.dll. On systems prior to Windows Vista, copy the Dbghelp.dll file from the %WINDDK%\bin\Platform directory of the WDK into the directory in which Tracepdb.exe is located.
