or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
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.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
The
posix_trace_clear()
function may be removed in a future version.
