NAME

       posix_trace_start, posix_trace_stop - trace start and stop (TRACING)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <trace.h>

       int posix_trace_start(trace_id_t trid);
       int posix_trace_stop (trace_id_t trid);

DESCRIPTION

       The  posix_trace_start()  and  posix_trace_stop() functions, respectively, shall start and stop the trace
       stream identified by the argument trid.

       The effect of calling the posix_trace_start() function shall be recorded  in  the  trace  stream  as  the
       POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event and the status of the trace stream shall become POSIX_TRACE_RUNNING.
       If the trace stream is in progress when this function is called, the POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event
       shall  not  be  recorded  and  the  trace stream shall continue to run.  If the trace stream is full, the
       POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event shall not be recorded and the status of the trace stream  shall  not
       be changed.

       The  effect  of  calling  the  posix_trace_stop()  function  shall be recorded in the trace stream as the
       POSIX_TRACE_STOP  system  trace   event   and   the   status   of   the   trace   stream   shall   become
       POSIX_TRACE_SUSPENDED.   If   the   trace   stream  is  suspended  when  this  function  is  called,  the
       POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event shall not be recorded and the trace stream  shall  remain  suspended.
       If the trace stream is full, the POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event shall not be recorded and the status
       of the trace stream shall not be changed.

RETURN VALUE

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

ERRORS

       These functions shall fail if:

       EINVAL The  value  of  the  argument trid does not correspond to an active trace stream and thus no trace
              stream was started or stopped.

       EINTR  The operation was interrupted by a signal and thus the trace stream was not necessarily started or
              stopped.
