posix_trace_clear(3p)
NAME
posix_trace_clear - clear trace stream and trace log (TRACING)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <trace.h> int posix_trace_clear(trace_id_t trid);
DESCRIPTION
The posix_trace_clear() function shall reinitialize the trace stream
identified by the argument trid as if it were returning from the
posix_trace_create() function, except that the same allocated resources
shall be reused, the mapping of trace event type identifiers to trace
event names shall be unchanged, and the trace stream status shall
remain unchanged (that is, if it was running, it remains running and if
it was suspended, it remains suspended).
All trace events in the trace stream recorded before the call to
posix_trace_clear() shall be lost. The posix_stream_full_status status
shall be set to POSIX_TRACE_NOT_FULL. There is no guarantee that all
trace events that occurred during the posix_trace_clear() call are
recorded; the behavior with respect to trace points that may occur during this call is unspecified.
If the Trace Log option is supported and the trace stream has been created with a log, the posix_trace_clear() function shall reinitialize
the trace stream with the same behavior as if the trace stream was created without the log, plus it shall reinitialize the trace log associated with the trace stream identified by the argument trid as if it
were returning from the posix_trace_create_withlog() function, except
that the same allocated resources, for the trace log, may be reused and
the associated trace stream status remains unchanged. The first trace
event recorded in the trace log after the call to posix_trace_clear()
shall be the same as the first trace event recorded in the active trace
stream after the call to posix_trace_clear(). The posix_log_full_status status shall be set to POSIX_TRACE_NOT_FULL. There is no guarantee
that all trace events that occurred during the posix_trace_clear() call
are recorded in the trace log; the behavior with respect to trace
points that may occur during this call is unspecified. If the log full
policy is POSIX_TRACE_APPEND, the effect of a call to this function is
unspecified for the trace log associated with the trace stream identified by the trid argument.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the posix_trace_clear() function shall
return a value of zero. Otherwise, it shall return the corresponding
error number.
ERRORS
The posix_trace_clear() function shall fail if:
- EINVAL The value of the trid argument does not correspond to an active
- trace stream.
- The following sections are informative.
