Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions to create a string of data to use.

The trace_seq_init() function initializes the trace sequence s.

The trace_seq_destroy() function destroys the trace sequence s and frees all its resources that it had used.

The trace_seq_reset() function re-initializes the trace sequence s. All characters already written in s will be deleted.

The trace_seq_terminate() function terminates the trace sequence s. It puts the null character '\0' at the end of the buffer.

The trace_seq_putc() function puts a single character c in the trace sequence s.

The trace_seq_puts() function puts a NULL terminated string str in the trace sequence s.

The trace_seq_printf() function puts a formated string fmt _with variable arguments _... in the trace sequence s.

The trace_seq_vprintf() function puts a formated string fmt _with list of arguments _args in the trace sequence s.

The trace_seq_do_printf() function prints the buffer of trace sequence s to the standard output stdout.

The trace_seq_do_fprintf() function prints the buffer of trace sequence s to the given file fp.

Both trace_seq_putc() and trace_seq_puts() functions return the number of characters put in the trace sequence, or 0 in case of an error

Both trace_seq_printf() and trace_seq_vprintf() functions return 0 if the trace oversizes the buffer’s free space, the number of characters printed, or a negative value in case of an error.

Both trace_seq_do_printf() and trace_seq_do_fprintf() functions return the number of printed characters, or -1 in case of an error.
