POSIX_TRACE_OPEN(3P)

💅 POSIX_TRACE_OPEN 💅

okay so real talk, bestie: this page lives in the POSIX Programmer's Manual (that's the manual name, if you were wondering 🎀), and it's filed under POSIX_TRACE_OPEN(3P). Buckle up, it's a short one but it's important. ✨

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

Heads up before we go any further, babes: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so if you're on Linux, go peek at the corresponding Linux manual page for the actual tea ☕ — or the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 😭 Not every glow-up makes it to every platform, iykyk.

👑 NAME 👑

posix_trace_open, posix_trace_rewind — trace log management (TRACING)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <trace.h>

int posix_trace_open(int file_desc, trace_id_t *trid);
int posix_trace_rewind(trace_id_t trid);

Look at those two little icons 🫶. file_desc, trid, trace_id_t — all exactly as written, don't you dare paraphrase them.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Bestie. Listen. The description here literally just says: refer to posix_trace_close(). That's it. That's the whole thing. This page is the side character pointing you at the main character's page 🌟. Go read posix_trace_close() for the actual lore.
