This is a somewhat thorny area.

VPP itself supports dumping of API traces in two formats (sort of). User 
friendly and "SCRIPT" that's tuned to output API commands that can be used by 
VAT.
Some VPP features support only the user friendly dump, some only the "SCRIPT" 
format and some none.

I don't see any reason why we cannot auto-generate the dump/custom-dump code. 
Either as external post-processing of API trace files, or for the "api trace 
dump|custom-dump" commands in VPP.

Best regards,
Ole
