@note
See \ref ctfirwriterstreamclass which documents additional CTF IR stream
class functions exclusive to the CTF IR writer mode.

A CTF IR <strong><em>stream class</em></strong> is a template that you
can use to create concrete \link ctfirstream CTF IR streams\endlink.

A stream class has the following properties, both of which \em must
be unique amongst all the stream classes contained in the same
\link ctfirtraceclass CTF IR trace class\endlink:

- A \b name.
- A numeric \b ID.

In the Babeltrace CTF IR system, a \link ctfirtraceclass trace class\endlink
contains zero or more stream classes,
and a stream class contains zero or more
\link ctfireventclass event classes\endlink.
You can add an event class
to a stream class with bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class().
You can add a stream class to a trace class with
bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class().

A stream class owns three \link ctfirfieldtypes field types\endlink:

- An optional <strong>stream packet context</strong> field type, which
  represents the \c stream.packet.context CTF scope.
- An optional <strong>stream event header</strong> field type, which
  represents the \c stream.event.header CTF scope.
- An optional <strong>stream event context</strong> field type, which
  represents the \c stream.event.context CTF scope.

Those three field types \em must be structure field types as of
Babeltrace \btversion.

As per the CTF specification, the event header field type \em must
contain a field named \c id if the stream class contains more than one
event class.

As a reminder, here's the structure of a CTF packet:

@imgpacketstructure

Before you can create a stream from a stream class with
bt_ctf_stream_create(), you \em must add the prepared stream class to a
trace class by calling bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class().

As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR stream class objects have
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting">reference
counts</a>. See \ref refs to learn more about the reference counting
management of Babeltrace objects.

The following functions \em freeze their stream class parameter on
success:

- bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class()
- bt_ctf_event_create()
- bt_ctf_writer_create_stream()
  (\link ctfirwriter CTF IR writer\endlink mode only)

You cannot modify a frozen stream class: it is considered immutable,
except for:

- Adding an event class to it with
  bt_ctf_stream_class_add_event_class().
- \link refs Reference counting\endlink.
