LIBTRACEFS(3)               libtracefs Manual              LIBTRACEFS(3)

NAME         top

       tracefs_option_enable, tracefs_option_disable,
       tracefs_option_name - Various trace option functions.

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <tracefs.h>

       int tracefs_option_enable(struct tracefs_instance *instance, enum tracefs_option_id id);
       int tracefs_option_disable(struct tracefs_instance *instance, enum tracefs_option_id id);
       const char *tracefs_option_name(enum tracefs_option_id id);

DESCRIPTION         top

       This set of APIs can be used to enable and disable ftrace options
       and to get the name of an option.

       The tracefs_option_enable() function enables the option with id
       in the given instance. If instance is NULL, the option is enabled
       in the top trace instance.

       The tracefs_option_disable() function disables the option with id
       in the given instance. If instance is NULL, the option is
       disabled in the top trace instance.

       The tracefs_option_name() function returns a string, representing
       the option with id. The string must not be freed.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The tracefs_option_enable() and tracefs_option_disable()
       functions return 0 if the state of the option is set
       successfully, or -1 in case of an error.

       The tracefs_option_name() function returns string with option
       name, or "unknown" in case of an error. The returned string must
       not be freed.

EXAMPLE         top

           #include <tracefs.h>
           ...
           if (tracefs_option_enable(NULL, TRACEFS_OPTION_ANNOTATE)) {
                   /* Failed to enable annotate option in top trace instance */
           }
           ...
           if (tracefs_option_disable(NULL, TRACEFS_OPTION_CONTEXT_INFO)) {
                   /* Failed to disable context info option in top trace instance */
           }
           ...
           char *name = tracefs_option_name(TRACEFS_OPTION_FUNC_STACKTRACE);
           if (strcmp(name, "unknown")) {
                   /* Cannot get the name of the option */
           }
