21 * Clear a tracing session.
22 *
23 * Clear the data buffers and trace data.
24 *
25 * For sessions saving trace data to disk and streaming over the network to a
26 * relay daemon, the buffers content and existing stream files are cleared when
27 * the clear command is issued.
28 *
29 * For snapshot sessions (flight recorder), only the buffer content is cleared.
30 * Prior snapshots are individually recorded to disk, and are therefore
31 * untouched by this "clear" command.
32 *
33 * For live sessions streaming over network to a relay daemon, the buffers
34 * will be cleared and the files on the relay daemon side will be cleared as
35 * well. However, any active live trace viewer currently reading an existing
36 * trace packet will be able to proceed to read that packet entirely before
37 * skipping over cleared stream data.
38 *
39 * The clear command guarantees that no trace data produced before this function
40 * is called will be present in the resulting trace.
41 *
42 * Trace data produced between the moment this function is called and when it
43 * returns might be present in the resulting trace.
44 *
45 * Provides an lttng_clear_handle which can be used to wait for the completion
46 * of the session's clear.
47 *
48 * Return LTTNG_OK on success else a negative LTTng error code. The returned
49 * handle is owned by the caller and must be free'd using
50 * lttng_clear_handle_destroy().
51 *
52 * Important error codes:
53 * LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_RELAY_DISALLOWED
54 * LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_NOT_AVAILABLE_RELAY
55 * LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_FAIL_CONSUMER
