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.
