+.SH NAME
+posix_trace_start, posix_trace_stop \- trace start and stop (\fBTRACING\fP)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <trace.h>
+.br

+int posix_trace_start(trace_id_t\fP \fItrid\fP\fB);

+int posix_trace_stop (trace_id_t\fP \fItrid\fP\fB); \fP

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIposix_trace_start\fP() and \fIposix_trace_stop\fP() functions,
+respectively, shall start and stop the trace stream
+identified by the argument \fItrid\fP.
+.LP
+The effect of calling the \fIposix_trace_start\fP() function shall
+be recorded in the trace stream as the POSIX_TRACE_START
+system trace event and the status of the trace stream shall become
+POSIX_TRACE_RUNNING. If the trace stream is in progress when
+this function is called, the POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event
+shall not be recorded and the trace stream shall continue to run.
+If the trace stream is full, the POSIX_TRACE_START system trace event
+shall not be recorded and the status of the trace stream
+shall not be changed.
+.LP
+The effect of calling the \fIposix_trace_stop\fP() function shall
+be recorded in the trace stream as the POSIX_TRACE_STOP
+system trace event and the status of the trace stream shall become
+POSIX_TRACE_SUSPENDED. If the trace stream is suspended when
+this function is called, the POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event shall
+not be recorded and the trace stream shall remain suspended.
+If the trace stream is full, the POSIX_TRACE_STOP system trace event
+shall not be recorded and the status of the trace stream shall
+not be changed.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of
+zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error
+number.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+These functions shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EINVAL
+The value of the argument \fItrid\fP does not correspond to an active
+trace stream and thus no trace stream was started or
+stopped.
+.TP 7
+.B EINTR
+The operation was interrupted by a signal and thus the trace stream
+was not necessarily started or stopped.
