18 The posix_trace_close() function shall deallocate the trace log identi‐
19 fier indicated by trid, and all of its associated resources. If there
20 is no valid trace log pointed to by the trid, this function shall fail.
21 The posix_trace_open() function shall allocate the necessary resources
23 and establish the connection between a trace log identified by the
24 file_desc argument and a trace stream identifier identified by the
25 object pointed to by the trid argument. The file_desc argument should
26 be a valid open file descriptor that corresponds to a trace log. The
27 file_desc argument shall be open for reading. The current trace event
28 timestamp, which specifies the timestamp of the trace event that will
29 be read by the next call to posix_trace_getnext_event(), shall be set
30 to the timestamp of the oldest trace event recorded in the trace log
31 identified by trid.
32 The posix_trace_open() function shall return a trace stream identifier
34 in the variable pointed to by the trid argument, that may only be used
35 by the following functions:
36 posix_trace_close() posix_trace_get_attr()
38 posix_trace_eventid_equal() posix_trace_get_status()
39 posix_trace_eventid_get_name() posix_trace_getnext_event()
40 posix_trace_eventtypelist_getnext_id() posix_trace_rewind()
41 posix_trace_eventtypelist_rewind()
42 In particular, notice that the operations normally used by a trace con‐
45 troller process, such as posix_trace_start(), posix_trace_stop(), or
46 posix_trace_shutdown(), cannot be invoked using the trace stream iden‐
47 tifier returned by the posix_trace_open() function.
48 The posix_trace_rewind() function shall reset the current trace event
50 timestamp, which specifies the timestamp of the trace event that will
51 be read by the next call to posix_trace_getnext_event(), to the time‐
52 stamp of the oldest trace event recorded in the trace log identified by
53 trid.
54
56 Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of
57 zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error number.
58 If successful, the posix_trace_open() function stores the trace stream
60 identifier value in the object pointed to by trid.
61
63 The posix_trace_open() function shall fail if:
64 EINTR The operation was interrupted by a signal and thus no trace log
66 was opened.
67 EINVAL The object pointed to by file_desc does not correspond to a
69 valid trace log.
70 The posix_trace_close() and posix_trace_rewind() functions may fail if:
73 EINVAL The object pointed to by trid does not correspond to a valid
75 trace log.
