+.B EXAMPLES:

+$ lttng enable-channel -C 4096 -W 32 chan1
+For each stream, the maximum size of a trace file will be 4096 bytes divided
+over a \fBmaximum\fP of 32 different files. The file count is appended after
+the stream number as seen in the following example. The last trace file is
+smaller than 4096 since it was not completely filled.

+
+$ lttng enable-channel -C 4096
+This will create trace files of 4096 bytes and will create new ones as long as
+there is data available.
