#### Description [src]

Gets the captured data from all filtered devices for all recorded phases. The data is returned in a ZIP archive of JSON output.

  The return location for a recoverable error.

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  If the return location is not `NULL`, then you must initialize it to a `NULL` `GError*`.

  In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated `GError`; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
