31 * Clear a tracing session.
32 *
33 * Clear the data buffers and trace data.
34 *
35 * For sessions saving trace data to disk and streaming over the network to a
36 * relay daemon, the buffers content and existing stream files are cleared when
37 * the clear command is issued.
38 *
39 * For snapshot sessions (flight recorder), only the buffer content is cleared.
40 * Prior snapshots are individually recorded to disk, and are therefore
41 * untouched by this "clear" command.
42 *
43 * For live sessions streaming over network to a relay daemon, the buffers
44 * will be cleared and the files on the relay daemon side will be cleared as
45 * well. However, any active live trace viewer currently reading an existing
46 * trace packet will be able to proceed to read that packet entirely before
47 * skipping over cleared stream data.
48 *
49 * The clear command guarantees that no trace data produced before this function
50 * is called will be present in the resulting trace.
51 *
52 * Trace data produced between the moment this function is called and when it
53 * returns might be present in the resulting trace.
54 *
55 * Provides an lttng_clear_handle which can be used to wait for the completion
56 * of the session's clear.
57 *
58 * Return LTTNG_OK on success else a negative LTTng error code. The returned
59 * handle is owned by the caller and must be free'd using
60 * lttng_clear_handle_destroy().
61 *
62 * Important error codes:
63 * LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_RELAY_DISALLOWED
64 * LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_NOT_AVAILABLE_RELAY
65 * LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_FAIL_CONSUMER
