/*
 * Clear a tracing session.
 *
 * Clear the data buffers and trace data.
 *
 * For sessions saving trace data to disk and streaming over the network to a
 * relay daemon, the buffers content and existing stream files are cleared when
 * the clear command is issued.
 *
 * For snapshot sessions (flight recorder), only the buffer content is cleared.
 * Prior snapshots are individually recorded to disk, and are therefore
 * untouched by this "clear" command.
 *
 * For live sessions streaming over network to a relay daemon, the buffers
 * will be cleared and the files on the relay daemon side will be cleared as
 * well. However, any active live trace viewer currently reading an existing
 * trace packet will be able to proceed to read that packet entirely before
 * skipping over cleared stream data.
 *
 * The clear command guarantees that no trace data produced before this function
 * is called will be present in the resulting trace.
 *
 * Trace data produced between the moment this function is called and when it
 * returns might be present in the resulting trace.
 *
 * Provides an lttng_clear_handle which can be used to wait for the completion
 * of the session's clear.
 *
 * Return LTTNG_OK on success else a negative LTTng error code. The returned
 * handle is owned by the caller and must be free'd using
 * lttng_clear_handle_destroy().
 *
 * Important error codes:
 *    LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_RELAY_DISALLOWED
 *    LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_NOT_AVAILABLE_RELAY
 *    LTTNG_ERR_CLEAR_FAIL_CONSUMER
