Enumeration Type Documentation

rte_trace_mode

enum rte_trace_mode

Enumerate trace mode operation.

Enumerator
RTE_TRACE_MODE_OVERWRITE	In this mode, when no space is left in the trace buffer, the subsequent events overwrite the old events.
RTE_TRACE_MODE_DISCARD	In this mode, when no space is left in the trace buffer, the subsequent events shall not be recorded.

Function Documentation

rte_trace_is_enabled()

__rte_experimental bool rte_trace_is_enabled

(

void

)

Test if trace is enabled.

Returns

true if trace is enabled, false otherwise.

rte_trace_mode_set()

__rte_experimental void rte_trace_mode_set

(

enum rte_trace_mode

mode

)

Set the trace mode.

Parameters

mode	Trace mode.

rte_trace_mode_get()

__rte_experimental enum rte_trace_mode rte_trace_mode_get

(

void

)

Get the trace mode.

Returns

The current trace mode.

rte_trace_pattern()

__rte_experimental int rte_trace_pattern	(	const char *	pattern,
		bool	enable
	)

Enable/Disable a set of tracepoints based on globbing pattern.

Parameters

pattern	The globbing pattern identifying the tracepoint.
enable	true to enable tracepoint, false to disable the tracepoint, upon match.

Returns

• 0: Success and no pattern match.
• 1: Success and found pattern match.
• (-ERANGE): Tracepoint object is not registered.

rte_trace_regexp()

__rte_experimental int rte_trace_regexp	(	const char *	regex,
		bool	enable
	)

Enable/Disable a set of tracepoints based on regular expression.

Parameters

regex	A regular expression identifying the tracepoint.
enable	true to enable tracepoint, false to disable the tracepoint, upon match.

Returns

• 0: Success and no pattern match.
• 1: Success and found pattern match.
• (-ERANGE): Tracepoint object is not registered.
• (-EINVAL): Invalid regular expression rule.

rte_trace_save()

__rte_experimental int rte_trace_save

(

void

)

Save the trace buffer to the trace directory.

By default, trace directory will be created at $HOME directory and this can be overridden by –trace-dir EAL parameter.

Returns

• 0: Success.
• <0 : Failure.

rte_trace_metadata_dump()

__rte_experimental int rte_trace_metadata_dump

(

FILE *

f

)

Dump the trace metadata to a file.

Parameters

f	A pointer to a file for output

Returns

• 0: Success.
• <0 : Failure.

rte_trace_dump()

__rte_experimental void rte_trace_dump

(

FILE *

f

)

Dump the trace subsystem status to a file.

Parameters

f	A pointer to a file for output
