64 * format is a string containing the format name in which the trace was

67 * packet_seek can be NULL to use the default packet_seek handler provided by
68 * the trace format. If non-NULL, it is used as an override of the handler for
69 * seeks across packets. It takes as parameter a stream position, the packet
70 * index it needs to seek to (for SEEK_SET), and a "whence" parameter (either
71 * SEEK_CUR: seek to next packet, or SEEK_SET: seek to packet at packet index).
72 *
73 * stream_list is a linked list of streams, it is used to open a trace where
74 * the trace data is located in memory mapped areas instead of trace files,
75 * this argument should be non-NULL when path is NULL.
76 *
77 * The metadata parameter acts as a metadata override when not NULL, otherwise
78 * the format handles the metadata opening.
79 *
80 * Return: the trace handle id (>= 0) on success, a negative
81 * value on error.
