PROLOG

NAME

13       posix_trace_start, posix_trace_stop — trace start and stop (TRACING)
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <trace.h>
17
18       int posix_trace_start(trace_id_t trid);
19       int posix_trace_stop (trace_id_t trid);
20

DESCRIPTION

22       The posix_trace_start() and posix_trace_stop() functions, respectively,
23       shall start and stop the trace stream identified by the argument trid.
24
25       The  effect  of  calling  the  posix_trace_start()  function  shall  be
26       recorded in the trace stream  as  the  POSIX_TRACE_START  system  trace
27       event  and the status of the trace stream shall become POSIX_TRACE_RUN‐
28       NING.  If the trace stream is in progress when this function is called,
29       the  POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event shall not be recorded and the
30       trace stream shall continue to run. If the trace stream  is  full,  the
31       POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event shall not be recorded and the sta‐
32       tus of the trace stream shall not be changed.
33
34       The effect of calling the posix_trace_stop() function shall be recorded
35       in  the trace stream as the POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event and the
36       status of the trace stream shall become POSIX_TRACE_SUSPENDED.  If  the
37       trace   stream   is   suspended  when  this  function  is  called,  the
38       POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event shall not be recorded and the trace
39       stream  shall  remain  suspended.  If  the  trace  stream  is full, the
40       POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event shall not be recorded and the  sta‐
41       tus of the trace stream shall not be changed.
42

RETURN VALUE

44       Upon  successful  completion,  these  functions shall return a value of
45       zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error number.
46

ERRORS

48       These functions shall fail if:
49
50       EINVAL The value of the argument trid does not correspond to an  active
51              trace stream and thus no trace stream was started or stopped.
52
53       EINTR  The  operation  was  interrupted  by a signal and thus the trace
54              stream was not necessarily started or stopped.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

69       in a future version.
