POSIX_TRACE_CLOSE(3P)     POSIX Programmer's Manual    POSIX_TRACE_CLOSE(3P)

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.
       The following sections are informative.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS         top

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