DESCRIPTION
The posix_trace_attr_getinherited() and posix_trace_attr_setinherited()
functions, respectively, shall get and set the inheritance policy
stored in the inheritance attribute for traced processes across the
fork() and spawn() operations. The inheritance attribute of the
attributes object pointed to by the attr argument shall be set to one
of the following values defined by manifest constants in the <trace.h>
header:
POSIX_TRACE_CLOSE_FOR_CHILD
After a fork() or spawn() operation, the child shall not be
traced, and tracing of the parent shall continue.
POSIX_TRACE_INHERITED
After a fork() or spawn() operation, if the parent is being
traced, its child shall be concurrently traced using the same
trace stream.
The default value for the inheritance attribute is
POSIX_TRACE_CLOSE_FOR_CHILD.
The posix_trace_attr_getlogfullpolicy() and posix_trace_attr_setlog-
fullpolicy() functions, respectively, shall get and set the trace log
full policy stored in the log-full-policy attribute of the attributes
object pointed to by the attr argument.
The log-full-policy attribute shall be set to one of the following val-
ues defined by manifest constants in the <trace.h> header:
POSIX_TRACE_LOOP
The trace log shall loop until the associated trace stream is
stopped. This policy means that when the trace log gets full,
the file system shall reuse the resources allocated to the oldest
trace events that were recorded. In this way, the trace log will
always contain the most recent trace events flushed.
POSIX_TRACE_UNTIL_FULL
The trace stream shall be flushed to the trace log until the
trace log is full. This condition can be deduced from the
posix_log_full_status member status (see the posix_trace_sta-
tus_info structure defined in <trace.h>). The last recorded
trace event shall be the POSIX_TRACE_STOP trace event.
POSIX_TRACE_APPEND
The associated trace stream shall be flushed to the trace log
without log size limitation. If the application specifies
POSIX_TRACE_APPEND, the implementation shall ignore the log-max-
size attribute.
The default value for the log-full-policy attribute is
POSIX_TRACE_LOOP.
The posix_trace_attr_getstreamfullpolicy() and posix_trace_attr_set-
streamfullpolicy() functions, respectively, shall get and set the trace
stream full policy stored in the stream-full-policy attribute of the
attributes object pointed to by the attr argument.
The stream-full-policy attribute shall be set to one of the following
values defined by manifest constants in the <trace.h> header:
POSIX_TRACE_LOOP
The trace stream shall loop until explicitly stopped by the
posix_trace_stop() function. This policy means that when the
trace stream is full, the trace system shall reuse the resources
allocated to the oldest trace events recorded. In this way, the
trace stream will always contain the most recent trace events
recorded.
POSIX_TRACE_UNTIL_FULL
The trace stream will run until the trace stream resources are
exhausted. Then the trace stream will stop. This condition can be
deduced from posix_stream_status and posix_stream_full_status
(see the posix_trace_status_info structure defined in <trace.h>).
When this trace stream is read, a POSIX_TRACE_STOP trace event
shall be reported after reporting the last recorded trace event.
The trace system shall reuse the resources allocated to any trace
events already reported--see the posix_trace_getnext_event(),
posix_trace_trygetnext_event(), and posix_trace_timedget-
next_event() functions--or already flushed for an active trace
stream with log if the Trace Log option is supported; see the
posix_trace_flush() function. The trace system shall restart the
trace stream when it is empty and may restart it sooner. A
POSIX_TRACE_START trace event shall be reported before reporting
the next recorded trace event.
POSIX_TRACE_FLUSH
If the Trace Log option is supported, this policy is identical to
the POSIX_TRACE_UNTIL_FULL trace stream full policy except that
the trace stream shall be flushed regularly as if
posix_trace_flush() had been explicitly called. Defining this
policy for an active trace stream without log shall be invalid.
The default value for the stream-full-policy attribute shall be
POSIX_TRACE_LOOP for an active trace stream without log.
If the Trace Log option is supported, the default value for the stream-
full-policy attribute shall be POSIX_TRACE_FLUSH for an active trace
stream with log.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of
zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error number.
If successful, the posix_trace_attr_getinherited() function shall store
the inheritance attribute value in the object pointed to by inheritan-
cepolicy. Otherwise, the content of this object is undefined.
If successful, the posix_trace_attr_getlogfullpolicy() function shall
store the log-full-policy attribute value in the object pointed to by
logpolicy. Otherwise, the content of this object is undefined.
If successful, the posix_trace_attr_getstreamfullpolicy() function
shall store the stream-full-policy attribute value in the object
pointed to by streampolicy. Otherwise, the content of this object is
undefined.
ERRORS
These functions may fail if:
EINVAL The value specified by at least one of the arguments is invalid.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
The following functions:
posix_trace_attr_getinherited()
posix_trace_attr_getlogfullpolicy()
posix_trace_attr_getstreamfullpolicy()
posix_trace_attr_setinherited()
posix_trace_attr_setlogfullpolicy()
posix_trace_attr_setstreamfullpolicy()
may be removed in a future version.
