.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The interfaces to control kernel tracing and process filtering are used only
with kernel handles, handles created by \fBtnfctl_kernel_open\fR(3TNF). These
interfaces are used to change the tracing and filter  states for kernel
tracing.
.sp
.LP
\fBtnfctl_trace_state_set()\fR sets the kernel global tracing state to "on" if
\fItrace_state\fR is \fBB_TRUE,\fR or to "off" if \fItrace_state\fR is
\fBB_FALSE.\fR For the kernel,  \fItrace_state\fR is off by default.Probes that
are enabled will  not write out data unless this state is on. Use
\fBtnfctl_trace_attrs_get\fR(3TNF) to retrieve the current tracing state.
.sp
.LP
\fBtnfctl_filter_state_set()\fR sets the kernel process filtering state to "on"
if \fIfilter_state\fR is \fBB_TRUE,\fR or to "off" if \fIfilter_state\fR is
\fBB_FALSE.\fR \fIfilter_state\fR is off by default.  If it is on, only probe
points encountered  by processes in the process filter set by
\fBtnfctl_filter_list_add()\fR will generate trace points.  Use
\fBtnfctl_trace_attrs_get\fR(3TNF) to retrieve the current process filtering
state.
.sp
.LP
\fBtnfctl_filter_list_get()\fR returns the process filter list as an array in
\fIpid_list\fR. The count of elements in the process filter list is returned in
\fIpid_count\fR. The caller should use \fBfree\fR(3C) to free memory allocated
for the array \fIpid_list\fR.
.sp
.LP
\fBtnfctl_filter_list_add()\fR adds  \fIpid_to_add\fR to the process filter
list.  The process filter list is maintained even when the process filtering
state is off, but it has no effect unless the process filtering state is on.
.sp
.LP
\fBtnfctl_filter_list_delete()\fR deletes \fIpid_to_delete\fR from the process
filter list.  It returns an error if the process does  not exist or is not in
the filter list.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The interfaces \fBtnfctl_trace_state_set()\fR, \fBtnfctl_filter_state_set()\fR,
\fBtnfctl_filter_list_add()\fR, \fBtnfctl_filter_list_delete()\fR, and
\fBtnfctl_filter_list_get()\fR return \fBTNFCTL_ERR_NONE\fR upon success.
