.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_getnext_event\fP() function shall report a recorded
trace event either from an active trace stream without
log  
\ or a pre-recorded trace stream identified by the \fItrid\fP argument.
The \fIposix_trace_trygetnext_event\fP() function shall report a recorded
trace event from an active trace stream
without log identified by the \fItrid\fP argument.
.LP
The trace event information associated with the recorded trace event
shall be copied by the function into the structure pointed
to by the argument \fIevent\fP and the data associated with the trace
event shall be copied into the buffer pointed to by the
\fIdata\fP argument.
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_getnext_event\fP() function shall block if the
\fItrid\fP argument identifies an active trace stream and
there is currently no trace event ready to be retrieved. When returning,
if a recorded trace event was reported, the variable
pointed to by the \fIunavailable\fP argument shall be set to zero.
Otherwise, the variable pointed to by the \fIunavailable\fP
argument shall be set to a value different from zero.
.LP
\ The \fIposix_trace_timedgetnext_event\fP() function shall attempt
to get another trace event from an active trace stream
without log, as in the \fIposix_trace_getnext_event\fP() function.
However, if no trace event is available from the trace stream,
the implied wait shall be terminated when the timeout specified by
the argument \fIabs_timeout\fP expires, and the function shall
return the error [ETIMEDOUT].
.LP
The timeout shall expire when the absolute time specified by \fIabs_timeout\fP
passes, as measured by the clock upon which
timeouts are based (that is, when the value of that clock equals or
exceeds \fIabs_timeout\fP), or if the absolute time specified
by \fIabs_timeout\fP has already passed at the time of the call. 
.LP
\ If the Timers option is supported, the timeout shall be based on
the CLOCK_REALTIME clock; if the Timers option
is not supported, the timeout shall be based on the system clock as
returned by the \fItime\fP() function. The resolution of the timeout
shall be the resolution of the clock on which it
is based. The \fBtimespec\fP data type is defined in the \fI<time.h>\fP
header. 
.LP
Under no circumstance shall the function fail with a timeout if a
trace event is immediately available from the trace stream. The
validity of the \fIabs_timeout\fP argument need not be checked if
a trace event is immediately available from the trace
stream.
.LP
The behavior of this function for a pre-recorded trace stream is unspecified.
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_trygetnext_event\fP() function shall not block.
\ This function shall return an error if the \fItrid\fP
argument identifies a pre-recorded trace stream.  If a recorded
trace event was reported, the variable pointed to by the \fIunavailable\fP
argument shall be set to zero. Otherwise, if no trace
event was reported, the variable pointed to by the \fIunavailable\fP
argument shall be set to a value different from zero.
.LP
The argument \fInum_bytes\fP shall be the size of the buffer pointed
to by the \fIdata\fP argument. The argument
\fIdata_len\fP reports to the application the length in bytes of the
data record just transferred. If \fInum_bytes\fP is greater
than or equal to the size of the data associated with the trace event
pointed to by the \fIevent\fP argument, all the recorded
data shall be transferred. In this case, the \fItruncation-status\fP
member of the trace event structure shall be either
POSIX_TRACE_NOT_TRUNCATED, if the trace event data was recorded without
truncation while tracing, or POSIX_TRACE_TRUNCATED_RECORD,
if the trace event data was truncated when it was recorded. If the
\fInum_bytes\fP argument is less than the length of recorded
trace event data, the data transferred shall be truncated to a length
of \fInum_bytes\fP, the value stored in the variable pointed
to by \fIdata_len\fP shall be equal to \fInum_bytes\fP, and the \fItruncation-status\fP
member of the \fIevent\fP structure
argument shall be set to POSIX_TRACE_TRUNCATED_READ (see the \fBposix_trace_event_info\fP
structure defined in \fI<trace.h>\fP).
.LP
The report of a trace event shall be sequential starting from the
oldest recorded trace event. Trace events shall be reported in
the order in which they were generated, up to an implementation-defined
time resolution that causes the ordering of trace events
occurring very close to each other to be unknown. Once reported, a
trace event cannot be reported again from an active trace
stream. Once a trace event is reported from an active trace stream
without log, the trace stream shall make the resources
associated with that trace event available to record future generated
trace events.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of
zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error
number.
.LP
If successful, these functions store:
.IP " *" 3
The recorded trace event in the object pointed to by \fIevent\fP
.LP
.IP " *" 3
The trace event information associated with the recorded trace event
in the object pointed to by \fIdata\fP
.LP
.IP " *" 3
The length of this trace event information in the object pointed to
by \fIdata_len\fP
.LP
.IP " *" 3
The value of zero in the object pointed to by \fIunavailable\fP
.LP
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The trace stream identifier argument \fItrid\fP is invalid.
.sp
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_getnext_event\fP() and \fIposix_trace_timedgetnext_event\fP()
functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINTR
The operation was interrupted by a signal, and so the call had no
effect.
.sp
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_trygetnext_event\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The trace stream identifier argument \fItrid\fP does not correspond
to an active trace stream.
.sp
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_timedgetnext_event\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
There is no trace event immediately available from the trace stream,
and the \fItimeout\fP argument is invalid.
.TP 7
.B ETIMEDOUT
No trace event was available from the trace stream before the specified
timeout \fItimeout\fP expired.
