NAME

       posix_trace_get_attr,  posix_trace_get_status  -  retrieve  the  trace attributes or trace
       status (TRACING)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <trace.h>

       int posix_trace_get_attr(trace_id_t trid, trace_attr_t *attr);
       int posix_trace_get_status(trace_id_t trid,
              struct posix_trace_status_info *statusinfo);

DESCRIPTION

       The posix_trace_get_attr() function shall copy the attributes of the active  trace  stream
       identified  by  trid  into  the object pointed to by the attr argument.   If the Trace Log
       option is supported, trid may represent a pre-recorded trace log.

       The posix_trace_get_status() function shall return, in the structure  pointed  to  by  the
       statusinfo  argument, the current trace status for the trace stream identified by the trid
       argument. These status values returned in the structure pointed  to  by  statusinfo  shall
       have  been appropriately read to ensure that the returned values are consistent.    If the
       Trace Log option is supported and the trid argument refers to a pre-recorded trace stream,
       the status shall be the status of the completed trace stream.

       Each  time  the posix_trace_get_status() function is used, the overrun status of the trace
       stream shall be reset to POSIX_TRACE_NO_OVERRUN  immediately  after  the  call  completes.
        If  the Trace Log option is supported, the posix_trace_get_status() function shall behave
       the same as when the option is not supported except for the following differences:

        * If  the  trid  argument  refers  to  a  trace  stream   with   log,   each   time   the
          posix_trace_get_status()  function  is used, the log overrun status of the trace stream
          shall be reset to POSIX_TRACE_NO_OVERRUN and the flush_error status shall be  reset  to
          zero immediately after the call completes.

        * If  the  trid argument refers to a pre-recorded trace stream, the status returned shall
          be the status of the completed trace stream and the status values of the  trace  stream
          shall not be reset.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful completion, these functions shall return a value of zero. Otherwise, they
       shall return the corresponding error number.

       The posix_trace_get_attr() function stores the trace attributes in the object  pointed  to
       by attr, if successful.

       The  posix_trace_get_status() function stores the trace status in the object pointed to by
       statusinfo, if successful.

ERRORS

       These functions shall fail if:

       EINVAL The trace stream argument trid does not correspond to a valid active  trace  stream
              or a valid trace log.
