IEEE 1003.1q-2000

This standard will define APIs for Trace management. The APIs are for the handling of event data to satisfy both Realtime and Fault Tolerance software applications. The scope of this effort will be limited by selecting only those APIs which support functions which are in common practice. This standard will not change the base standard which it amends.

The purpose of this project is to specify a set of interfaces to allow portable access to underlying trace managment, services by application programs. These underlying services provide access to stream of event data, where the events can be generated by software and/or hardware, application and/or kernel.

Amendment Standard - Superseded. This amendment is part of the POSIX series of standards for applications and user interfaces to open systems. The purpose of this project is to specify a set of interfaces to allow portable access to underlying trace management services by application programs. These underlying services provide access to streams of event data, where the events can be generated by software and/or hardware, either from the application or the operating system. This standard is stated in terms of its C language binding.
