#include <pthread.h> int pthread_trace_init_np(void);Service Program Name: QP0WPTHR
The pthread_trace_init_np() API initializes or refreshes both the Pthreads library trace level and the application trace level. The Pthreads library trace level is maintained internally by the Pthreads library, while the application trace level is stored in the Qp0wTraceLevel external variable and can be used by the PTHREAD_TRACE_NP() macro.
When a program or service program that uses the Pthread APIs causes the Pthread APIs to be loaded (activated), the Pthreads library automatically calls the pthread_trace_init_np() function in order to initialize tracing based on the value of the QIBM_PTHREAD_TRACE_LEVEL environment variable at that time.
The application can call pthread_trace_init_np() at an arbitrary time during execution to initialize or refresh the current Pthreads library tracing level and the application trace level. The trace level is set based on the value of the QIBM_PTHREAD_TRACE_LEVEL environment variable at the time of the call. The new tracing level is also returned.
The Pthreads library tracing level is used to control trace records written by the Pthreads library functions at runtime. The following table describes the preprocessor macros representing the various trace levels, the setting of the QIBM_PTHREAD_TRACE_LEVEL environment variable, and the conditions that are traced.
| Trace Level | EnvVar | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PTHREAD_TRACE_NONE_NP | "QIBM_PTHREAD_TRACE_LEVEL=0" (or not set) |
No tracing is performed by the Pthreads library. Application tracing may still be done. |
| PTHREAD_TRACE_ERROR_NP | "QIBM_PTHREAD_TRACE_LEVEL=1" | Error level traces error conditions and the causes of most error return codes. |
| PTHREAD_TRACE_INFO_NP | "QIBM_PTHREAD_TRACE_LEVEL=2" | Informational level traces error level tracepoints, plus entry to and exit from functions, parameters passed to and return codes from functions, major changes in control flow. |
| PTHREAD_TRACE_VERBOSE_NP | "QIBM_PTHREAD_TRACE_LEVEL=3" | Verbose level traces informational level tracepoints, plus detailed information about application parameters, threads and data structures including information about Pthreads library processing information. |
The application provides tracing support similar to the Pthreads library using the PTHREAD_TRACE_NP() macro.
The PTHREAD_TRACE_NP() macro uses the external variable Qp0wTraceLevel. Qp0wTraceLevel may be used directly by the application to set application trace level without effecting the current Pthread library trace level. Set the value of Qp0wTraceLevel to one of PTHREAD_TRACE_NONE_NP, PTHREAD_TRACE_ERROR_NP, PTHREAD_TRACE_INFO_NP, or PTHREAD_TRACE_VERBOSE_NP.
The PTHREAD_TRACE_NP() macro can be used in conjunction with the following APIs to put trace records into the user trace flight recorder. The following system APIs defined in the qp0ztrc.h header file:
The trace records are written to the user trace flight recorder and can be accessed by the following CL commands:
