       • infos/description = Traces the execution path of a backend

       This plugin is added on every possible position within a backend. It allows you to trace
       when the backend is executed.

   Usage
       If you want to trace how and if the backend is called:

       kdb mount file.ysp user/trace_point your_storage_plugin tracer

       So now we can trace whats below your trace point.

       kdb ls user/trace_point

       Ok, no tracer is called because resolver immediately told that there is no file.

       kdb get user/trace_point
       Did not find key

       Ok, same conclusion.

       kdb set user/trace_point hello
       create a new key user/trace_point with string hello
       tracer: set(0xd34cc0, user/trace_point): user/trace_point 1
       tracer: set(0xd34cc0, user/trace_point): user/trace_point 1
       tracer: set(0xd34cc0, user/trace_point): user/trace_point 1

       Now the 3 placements in set are called.

       kdb get user/trace_point
       tracer: get(0x22e1cc0, user/trace_point): 0
       tracer: get(0x22e1cc0, user/trace_point): 0
       hello

       Now the 2 placements in get are called.
