NAME
tracefs_option_enable, tracefs_option_disable, tracefs_option_name - Various trace option functions.
SYNOPSIS
#include <tracefs.h> int tracefs_option_enable(struct tracefs_instance *instance, enum tracefs_option_id id); int tracefs_option_disable(struct tracefs_instance *instance, enum tracefs_option_id id); const char *tracefs_option_name(enum tracefs_option_id id);
DESCRIPTION
This set of APIs can be used to enable and disable ftrace options and to get the name of an option.
The tracefs_option_enable() function enables the option with id in the given instance. If instance is NULL, the option is enabled in the top trace instance.
The tracefs_option_disable() function disables the option with id in the given instance. If instance is NULL, the option is disabled in the top trace instance.
The tracefs_option_name() function returns a string, representing the option with id. The string must not be freed.
RETURN VALUE
The tracefs_option_enable() and tracefs_option_disable() functions return 0 if the state of the option is set successfully, or -1 in case of an error.
The tracefs_option_name() function returns string with option name, or "unknown" in case of an error. The returned string must not be freed.
EXAMPLE
#include <tracefs.h> ... if (tracefs_option_enable(NULL, TRACEFS_OPTION_ANNOTATE)) { /* Failed to enable annotate option in top trace instance */ } ... if (tracefs_option_disable(NULL, TRACEFS_OPTION_CONTEXT_INFO)) { /* Failed to disable context info option in top trace instance */ } ... char *name = tracefs_option_name(TRACEFS_OPTION_FUNC_STACKTRACE); if (strcmp(name, "unknown")) { /* Cannot get the name of the option */ }
FILES
tracefs.h Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs. -ltracefs Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.
