POSIX_TRA...NTID_OPEN(3P)

✨ POSIX_TRA...NTID_OPEN(3P) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the POSIX Programmer's Manual 💖 — yes that's the manual name, and yes it's exactly as fancy as it sounds. This one's short, she's cute, she's a little mysterious, and she's giving "one line of lore and a whole legal document." Let's go. 🦋

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

Real talk before anything else, bestie: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.

The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so go peek at the corresponding Linux manual page for the tea on Linux behavior — or the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all. Not me finding out it might just... not exist on my system 😭

lowkey important: don't assume Linux does the exact same thing. it might, it might not, and it might not even ship with it. vibe check your platform first. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

posix_trace_eventid_open — trace functions for instrumenting application code (TRACING) ✨

she's an instrumenter, she's a tracer, she's here to help you see what your code is doing. icon behavior. 🎻

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

the sacred includes, copy them exactly bestie:

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

int posix_trace_eventid_open(const char *restrict event_name,
    trace_event_id_t *restrict event_id);

yes both restrict keywords are there. no you can't skip them. yes I love that for her. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

short and sweet, no cap:

Refer to posix_trace_event().

that's it. that's the whole description. she said "go read the main character's page, I'm just the understudy." 🫶 main character energy is over there.
