NAME

       posix_trace_eventid_equal,                posix_trace_eventid_get_name,
       posix_trace_trid_eventid_open  -  manipulate  the  trace   event   type
       identifier (TRACING)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <trace.h>

       int posix_trace_eventid_equal(trace_id_t trid, trace_event_id_t event1,
              trace_event_id_t event2);
       int posix_trace_eventid_get_name(trace_id_t trid,
              trace_event_id_t event, char *event_name);

       int posix_trace_trid_eventid_open(trace_id_t trid,
              const char *restrict event_name,
              trace_event_id_t *restrict event);

DESCRIPTION

       The posix_trace_eventid_equal() function shall compare the trace  event
       type  identifiers  event1  and event2 from the same trace stream or the
       same trace log identified by the trid argument. If the trace event type
       identifiers  event1  and  event2  are from different trace streams, the
       return value shall be unspecified.

       The  posix_trace_eventid_get_name()  function  shall  return,  in   the
       argument pointed to by event_name, the trace event name associated with
       the trace event type identifier identified by the argument  event,  for
       the  trace stream or for the trace log identified by the trid argument.
       The   name   of   the   trace   event   shall   have   a   maximum   of
       {TRACE_EVENT_NAME_MAX}   characters   (which   has  the  minimum  value
       {_POSIX_TRACE_EVENT_NAME_MAX}).  Successive calls to this function with
       the  same  trace  event  type  identifier  and  the  same  trace stream
       identifier shall return the same event name.

       The posix_trace_trid_eventid_open() function  shall  associate  a  user
       trace  event  name with a trace event type identifier for a given trace
       stream. The trace stream is identified by the  trid  argument,  and  it
       shall  be  an  active  trace stream. The trace event name is the string
       pointed to by the argument event_name.  It  shall  have  a  maximum  of
       {TRACE_EVENT_NAME_MAX}   characters   (which   has  the  minimum  value
       {_POSIX_TRACE_EVENT_NAME_MAX}). The number of  user  trace  event  type
       identifiers that can be defined for any given process is limited by the
       maximum value  {TRACE_USER_EVENT_MAX},  which  has  the  minimum  value
       {_POSIX_TRACE_USER_EVENT_MAX}.

       If    the    Trace    Inherit    option    is    not   supported,   the
       posix_trace_trid_eventid_open() function shall associate the user trace
       event  name  pointed  to  by the event_name argument with a trace event
       type identifier that is unique for the  process  being  traced  in  the
       trace  stream  identified  by the trid argument, and is returned in the
       variable pointed to by the event argument. If the user trace event name
       has  already  been  mapped  for the traced process, then the previously
       assigned trace event type identifier shall be  returned.  If  the  per-
       process    user    trace    event    name    limit    represented    by
       {TRACE_USER_EVENT_MAX}    has    been    reached,    the    pre-defined
       POSIX_TRACE_UNNAMED_USEREVENT  (see  Trace  Option:  User Trace Event )
       user trace event shall be returned.

       If    the    Trace     Inherit     option     is     supported,     the
       posix_trace_trid_eventid_open() function shall associate the user trace
       event name pointed to by the event_name argument  with  a  trace  event
       type  identifier  that  is unique for all the processes being traced in
       the trace stream identified by the trid argument, and  is  returned  in
       the  variable pointed to by the event argument. If the user trace event
       name has already  been  mapped  for  the  traced  processes,  then  the
       previously  assigned  trace event type identifier shall be returned. If
       the  per-process  user  trace   event   name   limit   represented   by
       {TRACE_USER_EVENT_MAX}    has    been    reached,    the    pre-defined
       POSIX_TRACE_UNNAMED_USEREVENT (see Trace Option:  User  Trace  Event  )
       user trace event shall be returned.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon  successful  completion,  the  posix_trace_eventid_get_name()  and
       posix_trace_trid_eventid_open()  functions  shall  return  a  value  of
       zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error number.

       The  posix_trace_eventid_equal() function shall return a non-zero value
       if event1 and event2 are equal; otherwise, a value  of  zero  shall  be
       returned.  No  errors  are defined.  If either event1 or event2 are not
       valid trace event type identifiers for the trace  stream  specified  by
       trid or if the trid is invalid, the behavior shall be unspecified.

       The posix_trace_eventid_get_name() function stores the trace event name
       value in the object pointed to by event_name, if successful.

       The posix_trace_trid_eventid_open() function  stores  the  trace  event
       type identifier value in the object pointed to by event, if successful.

ERRORS

       The                 posix_trace_eventid_get_name()                  and
       posix_trace_trid_eventid_open() functions shall fail if:

       EINVAL The trid argument was not a valid trace stream identifier.

       The posix_trace_trid_eventid_open() function shall fail if:

       ENAMETOOLONG

              The  size  of the name pointed to by the event_name argument was
              longer      than      the      implementation-defined      value
              {TRACE_EVENT_NAME_MAX}.

       The posix_trace_eventid_get_name() function shall fail if:

       EINVAL The  trace  event  type identifier event was not associated with
              any name.
