Hi all

I’m integrating CTF support to a third party framework. To do so, I decided to 
go with the Babeltrace 2 API (I love the rewrite BTW). So basically I made my 
custom plug-in and the framework spawns the following processing graph:

My Framework ->  SOURCE.MYPLUGIN.MYCOMPONENT -> SINK.CTF.FS

This effectively generates a valid set of CTF traces. However, when exploring 
the Babeltrace2 source I found the existence of a bt_ctf_writer, which seems 
like a convenience object to write CTF directly (without the need of the 
graph). This would’ve been a much simpler approach for my use case, so I’m 
evaluating to rewrite using bt_ctf_writer in favor of simplicity and 
maintainability. My questions are:

Should bt_ctf_writer be used? 
bt_ctf_writer is not documented, is it because is being deprecated?
Seems like sink.ctf.fs performs the trace and metadata write back to disk when 
it receives the end message, whereas with bt_ctf_writer I can manually flush 
them (which is very convenient to me). Is there a way to achieve this using the 
graph?

Thanks!
