DESCRIPTION
The posix_trace_attr_getlogsize() function shall copy the log size, in bytes, from the
log-max-size attribute of the attributes object pointed to by the attr argument into the
variable pointed to by the logsize argument. This log size is the maximum total of bytes
that shall be allocated for system and user trace events in the trace log. The default
value for the log-max-size attribute is implementation-defined.
The posix_trace_attr_setlogsize() function shall set the maximum allowed size, in bytes,
in the log-max-size attribute of the attributes object pointed to by the attr argument,
using the size value supplied by the logsize argument.
The trace log size shall be used if the log-full-policy attribute is set to
POSIX_TRACE_LOOP or POSIX_TRACE_UNTIL_FULL. If the log-full-policy attribute is set to
POSIX_TRACE_APPEND, the implementation shall ignore the log-max-size attribute.
The posix_trace_attr_getmaxdatasize() function shall copy the maximum user trace event
data size, in bytes, from the max-data-size attribute of the attributes object pointed to
by the attr argument into the variable pointed to by the maxdatasize argument. The default
value for the max-data-size attribute is implementation-defined.
The posix_trace_attr_getmaxsystemeventsize() function shall calculate the maximum memory
size, in bytes, required to store a single system trace event. This value is calculated
for the trace stream attributes object pointed to by the attr argument and is returned in
the variable pointed to by the eventsize argument.
The values returned as the maximum memory sizes of the user and system trace events shall
be such that if the sum of the maximum memory sizes of a set of the trace events that may
be recorded in a trace stream is less than or equal to the stream-min-size attribute of
that trace stream, the system provides the necessary resources for recording all those
trace events, without loss.
The posix_trace_attr_getmaxusereventsize() function shall calculate the maximum memory
size, in bytes, required to store a single user trace event generated by a call to
posix_trace_event() with a data_len parameter equal to the data_len value specified in
this call. This value is calculated for the trace stream attributes object pointed to by
the attr argument and is returned in the variable pointed to by the eventsize argument.
The posix_trace_attr_getstreamsize() function shall copy the stream size, in bytes, from
the stream-min-size attribute of the attributes object pointed to by the attr argument
into the variable pointed to by the streamsize argument.
This stream size is the current total memory size reserved for system and user trace
events in the trace stream. The default value for the stream-min-size attribute is
implementation-defined. The stream size refers to memory used to store trace event
records. Other stream data (for example, trace attribute values) shall not be included in
this size.
The posix_trace_attr_setmaxdatasize() function shall set the maximum allowed size, in
bytes, in the max-data-size attribute of the attributes object pointed to by the attr
argument, using the size value supplied by the maxdatasize argument. This maximum size is
the maximum allowed size for the user data argument which may be passed to
posix_trace_event(). The implementation shall be allowed to truncate data passed to
trace_user_event which is longer than maxdatasize.
The posix_trace_attr_setstreamsize() function shall set the minimum allowed size, in
bytes, in the stream-min-size attribute of the attributes object pointed to by the attr
argument, using the size value supplied by the streamsize argument.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of zero. Otherwise, they
shall return the corresponding error number.
The posix_trace_attr_getlogsize() function stores the maximum trace log allowed size in
the object pointed to by logsize, if successful.
The posix_trace_attr_getmaxdatasize() function stores the maximum trace event record
memory size in the object pointed to by maxdatasize, if successful.
The posix_trace_attr_getmaxsystemeventsize() function stores the maximum memory size to
store a single system trace event in the object pointed to by eventsize, if successful.
The posix_trace_attr_getmaxusereventsize() function stores the maximum memory size to
store a single user trace event in the object pointed to by eventsize, if successful.
The posix_trace_attr_getstreamsize() function stores the maximum trace stream allowed size
in the object pointed to by streamsize, if successful.
