IEEE/The Open Group                                   2017                             POSIX_TRACE_CLEAR(3POSIX)

       The  posix_trace_clear()  function shall reinitialize the trace stream identified by the argument trid as
       if it were returning from the posix_trace_create() function, except that  the  same  allocated  resources
       shall be reused, the mapping of trace event type identifiers to trace event names shall be unchanged, and
       the  trace stream status shall remain unchanged (that is, if it was running, it remains running and if it
       was suspended, it remains suspended).

       All trace events in the trace stream recorded before the call to posix_trace_clear() shall be  lost.  The
       posix_stream_full_status  status  shall  be  set to POSIX_TRACE_NOT_FULL.  There is no guarantee that all
       trace events that occurred during the posix_trace_clear() call are recorded; the behavior with respect to
       trace points that may occur during this call is unspecified.

       If the Trace  Log  option  is  supported  and  the  trace  stream  has  been  created  with  a  log,  the
       posix_trace_clear()  function  shall reinitialize the trace stream with the same behavior as if the trace
       stream was created without the log, plus it shall reinitialize the trace log associated  with  the  trace
       stream  identified  by  the  argument  trid as if it were returning from the posix_trace_create_withlog()
       function, except that the same allocated resources, for the trace log, may be reused and  the  associated
       trace stream status remains unchanged.  The first trace event recorded in the trace log after the call to
       posix_trace_clear()  shall be the same as the first trace event recorded in the active trace stream after
       the call to posix_trace_clear().  The posix_log_full_status status shall be set to  POSIX_TRACE_NOT_FULL.
       There  is  no  guarantee  that  all  trace  events  that occurred during the posix_trace_clear() call are
       recorded in the trace log; the behavior with respect to trace points that may occur during this  call  is
       unspecified.  If  the  log  full  policy  is POSIX_TRACE_APPEND, the effect of a call to this function is
       unspecified for the trace log associated with the trace stream identified by the trid argument.

       The posix_trace_clear() function shall fail if:

       EINVAL The value of the trid argument does not correspond to an active trace stream.

       Thefollowingsectionsareinformative.

       None.

       The posix_trace_clear() function may be removed in a future version.

       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

       None.

       Upon successful completion, the posix_trace_clear() function shall return a value of zero. Otherwise,  it
       shall return the corresponding error number.
