+TRACE-CMD-CONVERT(1)
+===================
+
+NAME
+----
+trace-cmd-convert - convert trace files
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+*trace-cmd convert* ['OPTIONS'] ['output-file']
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The trace-cmd(1) convert command converts trace file. It reads the input file and copies the data
+into an output file. The output file may be in different format, depending on the command line
+arguments.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+*-i* 'input-file'::
+    By default, trace-cmd convert will read the file 'trace.dat'. But the *-i*
+    option open up the given 'input-file' instead.
+*-o* 'out-file'::
+    The name of the output file, this parameter is mandatory. Note, the output file may also be
+    specified as the last item on the command line.
+*--compression*::
+    Compression of the trace output file, one of these strings can be passed:
+
+    'any'  - auto select the best available compression algorithm
+
+    'none' - do not compress the trace file
+
+    'name' - the name of the desired compression algorithms. Available algorithms can be listed with
+    trace-cmd list -c
+
+*--help*::
+    Print usage information.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+
+# trace-cmd convert --compression any trace_compress.dat
