tracefs_hist_start, tracefs_hist_destroy, tracefs_hist_pause, tracefs_hist_continue, tracefs_hist_reset - Pause, continue, or clear an existing histogram
#include <tracefs.h> int tracefs_hist_start(struct tracefs_instance *instance, struct tracefs_hist *hist); int tracefs_hist_destroy(struct tracefs_instance *instance, struct tracefs_hist *hist); int tracefs_hist_pause(struct tracefs_instance *instance, struct tracefs_hist *hist); int tracefs_hist_continue(struct tracefs_instance *instance, struct tracefs_hist *hist); int tracefs_hist_reset(struct tracefs_instance *instance, struct tracefs_hist *hist);
tracefs_hist_start() is called to actually start the histogram hist. The instance is the instance to start the histogram in, NULL if it should start at the top level.
tracefs_hist_pause() is called to pause the histogram hist. The instance is the instance to pause the histogram in, NULL if it is in the top level.
tracefs_hist_continue() is called to continue a paused histogram hist. The instance is the instance to continue the histogram, NULL if it is in the top level.
tracefs_hist_reset() is called to clear / reset the histogram hist. The instance is the instance to clear the histogram, NULL if it is in the top level.
tracefs_hist_destroy() is called to delete the histogram where it will no longer exist. The instance is the instance to delete the histogram from, NULL if it is in the top level.
All the return zero on success or -1 on error.
