LIBTRACEFS(3) libtracefs Manual LIBTRACEFS(3)
tracefs_options_get_supported, tracefs_option_is_supported,
tracefs_options_get_enabled, tracefs_option_is_enabled,
tracefs_option_mask_is_set, tracefs_option_id - Get and check
ftrace options.
#include <tracefs.h>
const struct tracefs_options_mask *tracefs_options_get_supported(struct tracefs_instance *instance);
bool tracefs_option_is_supported(struct tracefs_instance *instance, enum tracefs_option_id id);
const struct tracefs_options_mask *tracefs_options_get_enabled(struct tracefs_instance *instance);
bool tracefs_option_is_enabled(struct tracefs_instance *instance, enum tracefs_option_id id);
bool tracefs_option_mask_is_set(const struct tracefs_options_mask options, enum tracefs_option_id id);
enum tracefs_option_id *tracefs_option_id(const char *name);
This set of APIs can be used to get and check current ftrace
options. Supported ftrace options may depend on the kernel version
and the kernel configuration.
The tracefs_options_get_supported() function gets all ftrace
options supported by the system in the given instance. If instance
is NULL, supported options of the top trace instance are returned.
The set of supported options is the same in all created trace
instances, but may be different than the top trace instance.
The *tracefs_option_is_supported()/ function checks if the option
with given id is supported by the system in the given instance. If
instance is NULL, the top trace instance is used. If an option is
supported at the top trace instance, it it may not be supported in
a created trace instance.
The tracefs_options_get_enabled() function gets all ftrace
options, currently enabled in the given instance. If instance is
NULL, enabled options of the top trace instance are returned.
The tracefs_option_is_enabled() function checks if the option with
given id is enabled in the given instance. If instance is NULL,
the top trace instance is used.
The tracefs_option_mask_is_set() function checks if the bit,
corresponding to the option with id is set in the options bitmask
returned from tracefs_option_get_enabled() and
tracefs_option_is_supported().
The tracefs_option_id() converts an option name into its
corresponding id, if it is found. This allows to find the option
id to use in the other functions if only the name is known.
The tracefs_options_get_supported() and
tracefs_options_get_enabled() functions, on success, return a
pointer to the bitmask within the instance, or a global bitmask
for the top level, or NULL in case of an error. As the returned
bitmask is part of the instance structure (or a global variable)
and must not be freed or modified.
The tracefs_option_is_supported() and tracefs_option_is_enabled()
functions return true if the option in supported / enabled, or
false otherwise.
The tracefs_option_mask_is_set() returns true if the corresponding
option is set in the mask or false otherwise.
The tracefs_option_id() returns the corresponding id defined by
tracefs_options(3) from the given name. If the name can not be
found, then TRACEFS_OPTION_INVALID is returned.
