I am not good at documentation, but I feel that it might be better to combine the doc for 'target tfile' and 'target ctf' together, because they (should) behave almost the same to users, how about this?


@kindex target tfile
@kindex tfile
@item target tfile @var{filename}
@kindex target ctf
@kindex ctf
@itemx target ctf @var{dirname}
Use the file named @var{filename} or directory named @var{dirname} as a source of trace data. Commands
that examine data work as they do with a live target, but it is not
possible to run any new trace experiments. @code{tstatus} will report
the state of the trace run at the moment the data was saved, as well
as the current trace frame you are examining. @var{filename} or @var{dirname} must be
on a filesystem accessible to the host.


I have no other comments.
