POSIX_TRACE_START(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual POSIX_TRACE_START(3P)PROLOG
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
posix_trace_start, posix_trace_stop - trace start and stop (TRACING)
SYNOPSIS
#include <trace.h>
int posix_trace_start(trace_id_t trid);
int posix_trace_stop (trace_id_t trid);
DESCRIPTION
The posix_trace_start() and posix_trace_stop() functions, respectively,
shall start and stop the trace stream identified by the argument trid.
The effect of calling the posix_trace_start() function shall be
recorded in the trace stream as the POSIX_TRACE_START system trace
event and the status of the trace stream shall become POSIX_TRACE_RUN‐
NING. If the trace stream is in progress when this function is called,
the POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event shall not be recorded and the
trace stream shall continue to run. If the trace stream is full, the
POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event shall not be recorded and the sta‐
tus of the trace stream shall not be changed.
The effect of calling the posix_trace_stop() function shall be recorded
in the trace stream as the POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event and the
status of the trace stream shall become POSIX_TRACE_SUSPENDED. If the
trace stream is suspended when this function is called, the
POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event shall not be recorded and the trace
stream shall remain suspended. If the trace stream is full, the
POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event shall not be recorded and the sta‐
tus of the trace stream shall not be changed.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of
zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error number.
ERRORS
These functions shall fail if:
EINVAL The value of the argument trid does not correspond to an active
trace stream and thus no trace stream was started or stopped.
EINTR The operation was interrupted by a signal and thus the trace
stream was not necessarily started or stopped.
