POSIX_TRA...TREAMSIZE(3P)

🌸 POSIX_TRA...TREAMSIZE(3P) — the vibe check 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual — that's the manual name, and this page is POSIX_TRA...TREAMSIZE(3P). Yes the title is literally truncated with dots, it's giving mysterious, it's giving "read the rest of the page to find out". We love a cliffhanger. 💅

✨ PROLOG ✨

so before we even get into it: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. That's the whole point of the PROLOG section, and here's what it's telling you, fr fr:

• The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — like, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the details on Linux behavior, don't come crying to POSIX about it.
• Or honestly? The interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. Not every icon makes it to every stage. 😭

💖 NAME 💖

posix_trace_attr_setstreamsize — retrieve and set trace stream size attributes

and yup, it's filed under (TRACING). iykyk. 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

the way you gotta include these headers first, no shortcuts:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <trace.h>

int posix_trace_attr_setstreamsize(trace_attr_t *attr,
    size_t streamsize);

so it hands you back an int, takes a pointer to a trace_attr_t called attr, and a size_t called streamsize. periodt. ✨

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the thing, the entire description is literally:

Refer to posix_trace_attr_getlogsize().

that's it. that's the whole description. iconic of it honestly. if you want the actual tea, go read the posix_trace_attr_getlogsize() page — it's the main character here and this function is just in its orbit. 🫶
