- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <trace.h>
- .P
- int posix_trace_close(trace_id_t \fItrid\fP);
- int posix_trace_open(int \fIfile_desc\fP, trace_id_t *\fItrid\fP);

- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- \fIposix_trace_close\fR()
- function shall deallocate the trace log identifier indicated by
- .IR trid ,
- and all of its associated resources. If there is no valid trace log
- pointed to by the
- .IR trid ,
- this function shall fail.
- .P
- The
- \fIposix_trace_open\fR()
- function shall allocate the necessary resources and establish the
- connection between a trace log identified by the
- .IR file_desc
- argument and a trace stream identifier identified by the object pointed
- to by the
- .IR trid
- argument. The
- .IR file_desc
- argument should be a valid open file descriptor that corresponds to a
- trace log. The
- .IR 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
- \fIposix_trace_getnext_event\fR(),
- shall be set to the timestamp of the oldest trace event recorded in the
- trace log identified by
- .IR trid .
- .P
- The
- \fIposix_trace_open\fR()
- function shall return a trace stream identifier in the variable
- pointed to by the
- .IR trid
- argument, that may only be used by the following functions:
- .TS
- tab(!);
- l l.
- T{
- .nf
- \fIposix_trace_close\fR()
- \fIposix_trace_eventid_equal\fR()
- \fIposix_trace_eventid_get_name\fR()
- \fIposix_trace_eventtypelist_getnext_id\fR()
- \fIposix_trace_eventtypelist_rewind\fR()
- T}!T{
- .nf
- \fIposix_trace_get_attr\fR()
- \fIposix_trace_get_status\fR()
- \fIposix_trace_getnext_event\fR()
- \fIposix_trace_rewind\fR()
- .fi
- T}
- .TE
- .P
- In particular, notice that the operations normally used by a trace
- controller process, such as
- \fIposix_trace_start\fR(),
- \fIposix_trace_stop\fR(),
- or
- \fIposix_trace_shutdown\fR(),
- cannot be invoked using the trace stream identifier returned by the
- \fIposix_trace_open\fR()
- function.
- .P
- The
- \fIposix_trace_rewind\fR()
- 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
- \fIposix_trace_getnext_event\fR(),
- to the timestamp of the oldest trace event recorded in the trace log
- identified by
- .IR trid .
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of
- zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error number.
- .P
- If successful, the
- \fIposix_trace_open\fR()
- function stores the trace stream identifier value in the object pointed
- to by
- .IR trid .
- .SH ERRORS
- The
- \fIposix_trace_open\fR()
- function shall fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINTR
- The operation was interrupted by a signal and thus no trace log was
- opened.
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The object pointed to by
- .IR file_desc
- does not correspond to a valid trace log.
- .br
- .P
- The
- \fIposix_trace_close\fR()
- and
- \fIposix_trace_rewind\fR()
- functions may fail if:
- .TP
- .BR EINVAL
- The object pointed to by
- .IR trid
- does not correspond to a valid trace log.
