 *   is expressed in nanoseconds
 * - restore is a position saved with bt_iter_get_pos, it is used with
 *   BT_SEEK_RESTORE.

 * Note about BT_SEEK_LAST: if many events happen to be at the last
 * timestamp, it is implementation-defined which event will be the last,
 * and the order of events with the same timestamp may not be the same
 * as normal iteration on the trace. Therefore, it is recommended to
 * only use BT_SEEK_LAST to get the timestamp of the last event(s) in
