POSIX_TRA...ENTID_OPEN(3P)

🌸 PROLOG 🌸

okay bestie, before we even start — heads up that this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. and here's the tea: the Linux implementation of this interface may differ (so like, go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the deets on Linux behavior, fr), or honestly the interface might not even be implemented on Linux at all. 💀 not me finding that out the hard way.

✨ NAME ✨

posix_trace_trid_eventid_open — open a trace event type identifier (TRACING)

like, it opens a trace event type identifier. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

💅 SYNOPSIS 💅

#include <trace.h>

int posix_trace_trid_eventid_open(trace_id_t trid,
    const char *restrict event_name,
    trace_event_id_t *restrict event);

she's giving four lines, two restrict keywords, one int return. iconic. no notes. ✨

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

bestie, refer to posix_trace_eventid_equal().

that's it. that's the whole description. the standard said "go read the other page" and honestly? respect. 😭
