PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       posix_trace_close, posix_trace_open, posix_trace_rewind — trace
       log management (TRACING)

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <trace.h>

       int posix_trace_close(trace_id_t trid);
       int posix_trace_open(int file_desc, trace_id_t *trid);
       int posix_trace_rewind(trace_id_t trid);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The posix_trace_close() function shall deallocate the trace log
       identifier indicated by trid, and all of its associated
       resources. If there is no valid trace log pointed to by the trid,
       this function shall fail.

       The posix_trace_open() function shall allocate the necessary
       resources and establish the connection between a trace log
       identified by the file_desc argument and a trace stream
       identifier identified by the object pointed to by the trid
       argument. The file_desc argument should be a valid open file
       descriptor that corresponds to a trace log. The file_desc
       argument shall be open for reading. The current trace event
       timestamp, which specifies the timestamp of the trace event that
       will be read by the next call to posix_trace_getnext_event(),
       shall be set to the timestamp of the oldest trace event recorded
       in the trace log identified by trid.

       The posix_trace_open() function shall return a trace stream
       identifier in the variable pointed to by the trid argument, that
       may only be used by the following functions:
       posix_trace_close()                      posix_trace_get_attr()
       posix_trace_eventid_equal()              posix_trace_get_status()
       posix_trace_eventid_get_name()           posix_trace_getnext_event()
       posix_trace_eventtypelist_getnext_id()   posix_trace_rewind()
       posix_trace_eventtypelist_rewind()

       In particular, notice that the operations normally used by a
       trace controller process, such as posix_trace_start(),
       posix_trace_stop(), or posix_trace_shutdown(), cannot be invoked
       using the trace stream identifier returned by the
       posix_trace_open() function.

       The posix_trace_rewind() function shall reset the current trace
       event timestamp, which specifies the timestamp of the trace event
       that will be read by the next call to
       posix_trace_getnext_event(), to the timestamp of the oldest trace
       event recorded in the trace log identified by trid.

RETURN VALUE         top

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

       If successful, the posix_trace_open() function stores the trace
       stream identifier value in the object pointed to by trid.

ERRORS         top

       The posix_trace_open() function shall fail if:

       EINTR  The operation was interrupted by a signal and thus no
              trace log was opened.

       EINVAL The object pointed to by file_desc does not correspond to
              a valid trace log.

       The posix_trace_close() and posix_trace_rewind() functions may
       fail if:

       EINVAL The object pointed to by trid does not correspond to a
              valid trace log.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

       The posix_trace_close(), posix_trace_open(), and
       posix_trace_rewind() functions may be removed in a future
       version.
