.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
This enum contains all ftrace options, that can be manipulated using tracefs library\&. More detailed information about each option is available in Documentation/trace/ftrace\&.rst from the Linux kernel tree, in the trace_options section\&. Note that some ftrace options cannot be manipulated by this library, as they are intended for internal, debug purposes\&. These options control the tracers or the trace output\&. All options have two states \- on and off, the default state is different for each of them\&.

Common options for all tracers:
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_INVALID\fR Not a valid ftrace option, used by the API to indicate an error\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_ANNOTATE\fR Display when a new CPU buffer started\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_BIN\fR Display the formats in raw binary\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_CONTEXT_INFO\fR Show only the event data\&. Hides the comm, PID, timestamp, CPU, and other useful data\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_BLOCK\fR When set, reading trace_pipe will not block when polled\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_DISABLE_ON_FREE\fR When the free_buffer is closed, tracing will stop\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_DISPLAY_GRAPH\fR When set, the latency tracers will use function graph tracing instead of function tracing\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_EVENT_FORK\fR When set, tasks with PIDs listed in set_event_pid will have the PIDs of their children added to set_event_pid when those tasks fork\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FUNCTION_FORK\fR When set, tasks with PIDs listed in set_ftrace_pid will have the PIDs of their children added to set_ftrace_pid when those tasks fork\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FUNCTION_TRACE\fR When enabled, the latency tracers will trace functions\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_HEX\fR Display numbers in a hexadecimal format\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_IRQ_INFO\fR Display the interrupt, preempt count, need resched data\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_LATENCY_FORMAT\fR Display additional information about the latency\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_MARKERS\fR When set, the trace_marker is enabled \- writable (only by root)\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_OVERWRITE\fR Controls what happens when the trace buffer is full\&. If set, the oldest events are discarded and overwritten\&. If disabled, then the newest events are discarded\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_PAUSE_ON_TRACE\fR When set, opening the trace file for read, will pause writing to the ring buffer\&. When the file is closed, tracing will be enabled again\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_PRINTK_MSG_ONLY\fR When set, trace_printk()s will only show the format and not their parameters\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_PRINT_PARENT\fR On function traces, display the calling (parent) function as well as the function being traced\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_RAW\fR Display raw numbers\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_RECORD_CMD\fR Save a mapping with a pid and corresponding command\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_RECORD_TGID\fR Save a mapping with a pid and corresponding Thread Group IDs\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_STACKTRACE\fR Record a stack trace after any trace event\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_SYM_ADDR\fR Display the function address as well as the function name\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_SYM_OFFSET\fR Display not only the function name, but also the offset in the function\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_SYM_USEROBJ\fR When \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_USERSTACKTRACE\fR is set, look up which object the address belongs to, and print the object and a relative address\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_TRACE_PRINTK\fR Disable trace_printk() from writing into the buffer\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_USERSTACKTRACE\fR Records a stack trace of the current user space thread after each trace event\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_VERBOSE\fR When \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_LATENCY_FORMAT\fR is enabled, print more detailed information\&.

Options, specific to function tracer:
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FUNC_STACKTRACE\fR Record a stack trace after every function\&.

Options, specific to function_graph tracer:
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_ABSTIME\fR Display the timestamp at each line\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_CPU\fR Display the CPU number of the CPU where the trace occurred\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_DURATION\fR Display the duration of the amount of time at the end of each function, in microseconds\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_IRQS\fR Trace functions that happen inside an interrupt\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_OVERHEAD\fR Display a marker if a function takes longer than a certain amount of time\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_OVERRUN\fR Display "overrun" of the call graph, in the case of functions missed due to big callstack\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_PROC\fR Display the command of each process at every line\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_TAIL\fR Display the function name on its return\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_SLEEP_TIME\fR Account time the task has been scheduled out as part of the function call\&.
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_GRAPH_TIME\fR Display the time to call nested functions, if function profiler is enabled\&.

Options, specific to blk tracer:
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_BLK_CGNAME\fR
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_BLK_CGROUP\fR
        \fBTRACEFS_OPTION_BLK_CLASSIC\fR Display a more minimalistic output\&.
