@brief CTF IR trace class.

@code
#include <babeltrace/ctf-ir/trace.h>
@endcode

A CTF IR <strong><em>trace class</em></strong> is a descriptor of
traces.

You can obtain a trace class in two different modes:

- <strong>Normal mode</strong>: use bt_ctf_trace_create() to create a
  default, empty trace class.
- <strong>CTF IR writer mode</strong>: use bt_ctf_writer_get_trace() to
  get the trace class created by a given CTF IR writer object.

A trace class has the following properties:

- A \b name.
- A <strong>default byte order</strong>: all the
  \link ctfirfieldtype field types\endlink eventually part of the trace
  class with a byte order set to #BT_CTF_BYTE_ORDER_NATIVE have this
  "real" byte order.
- An \b environment, which is a custom key-value mapping. Keys are
  strings and values can be strings or integers.

In the Babeltrace CTF IR system, a trace class contains zero or more
\link ctfirstreamclass stream classes\endlink, 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 trace class owns the <strong>trace packet header</strong>
\link ctfirfieldtypes field type\endlink, which represents the
\c trace.packet.header CTF scope. This field type describes the
trace packet header fields of the traces that this trace class
describes.

The trace packet header field type \em must be a structure field type as
of Babeltrace \btversion.

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

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

@imgpacketstructure

A trace class also contains zero or more
\link ctfirclockclass clock classes\endlink.

@todo
Elaborate about clock classes irt clock values.

As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR trace 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 trace class parameter on
success:

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

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

- Adding a stream class to it with
  bt_ctf_trace_add_stream_class().
- Adding a clock class to it with bt_ctf_trace_add_clock().
- \link refs Reference counting\endlink.

You can add a custom listener with bt_ctf_trace_add_listener() to get
notified if anything changes in a trace class, that is, if an event
class is added to one of its stream class, if a stream class is added,
or if a clock class is added.

/**
@brief	Creates a default CTF IR trace class.

On success, the trace packet header field type of the created trace
class has the following fields:

- <code>magic</code>: a 32-bit unsigned integer field type.
- <code>uuid</code>: an array field type of 16 8-bit unsigned integer
  field types.
- <code>stream_id</code>: a 32-bit unsigned integer field type.

You can modify this default trace packet header field type after the
trace class is created with bt_ctf_trace_set_packet_header_type().

The created trace class has the following initial properties:

- <strong>Name</strong>: none. You can set a name
  with bt_ctf_trace_set_name().
- <strong>Default byte order</strong>: #BT_CTF_BYTE_ORDER_NATIVE. You
  can set a default byte order with bt_ctf_trace_set_byte_order().

  Note that you \em must set the default byte order if any field type
  contained in the created trace class, in its stream classes, or in
  its event classes, has a byte order set to #BT_CTF_BYTE_ORDER_NATIVE.
- <strong>Environment</strong>: empty. You can add environment entries
  with bt_ctf_trace_set_environment_field(),
  bt_ctf_trace_set_environment_field_integer(), and
  bt_ctf_trace_set_environment_field_string().
