43 @brief CTF IR stream.
44
45 @note
46 See \ref ctfirwriterstream which documents additional CTF IR stream
47 functions exclusive to the CTF IR writer mode.
48
49 A CTF IR <strong><em>stream</em></strong> is an instance of a
50 \link ctfirstreamclass CTF IR stream class\endlink.
51
52 You can obtain a CTF IR stream object in two different modes:
53
54 - <strong>Normal mode</strong>: use bt_ctf_stream_create() with a stream
55 class having a \link ctfirtraceclass CTF IR trace class\endlink parent
56 \em not created by a \link ctfirwriter CTF IR writer\endlink object to
57 create a default stream.
58 - <strong>CTF IR writer mode</strong>: use bt_ctf_stream_create() with
59 a stream class having a trace class parent created by a CTF IR writer
60 object, or use bt_ctf_writer_create_stream().
61
62 A CTF IR stream object represents a CTF stream, that is, a sequence of
63 packets containing events:
64
65 @imgtracestructure
66
67 A CTF IR stream does not contain, however, actual \link ctfirpacket CTF
68 IR packet\endlink objects: it only acts as a common parent to identify
69 the original CTF stream of packet objects.
70
71 As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR stream objects have
72 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting">reference
73 counts</a>. See \ref refs to learn more about the reference counting
74 management of Babeltrace objects.
