.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_get_attr\fP() function shall copy the attributes
of the active trace stream identified by \fItrid\fP into
the object pointed to by the \fIattr\fP argument.   If the Trace Log
option is supported, \fItrid\fP may represent a
pre-recorded trace log. 
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_get_status\fP() function shall return, in the structure
pointed to by the \fIstatusinfo\fP argument, the
current trace status for the trace stream identified by the \fItrid\fP
argument. These status values returned in the structure
pointed to by \fIstatusinfo\fP shall have been appropriately read
to ensure that the returned values are consistent.   \ If the
Trace Log option is supported and the \fItrid\fP argument refers to
a pre-recorded trace stream, the status shall be the status of
the completed trace stream. 
.LP
Each time the \fIposix_trace_get_status\fP() function is used, the
overrun status of the trace stream shall be reset to
POSIX_TRACE_NO_OVERRUN immediately after the call completes.   \ If
the Trace Log option is supported, the
\fIposix_trace_get_status\fP() function shall behave the same as when
the option is not supported except for the following
differences:
.IP " *" 3
If the \fItrid\fP argument refers to a trace stream with log, each
time the \fIposix_trace_get_status\fP() function is used,
the log overrun status of the trace stream shall be reset to POSIX_TRACE_NO_OVERRUN
and the \fIflush_error\fP status shall be
reset to zero immediately after the call completes.
.LP
.IP " *" 3
If the \fItrid\fP argument refers to a pre-recorded trace stream,
the status returned shall be the status of the completed
trace stream and the status values of the trace stream shall not be
reset.
.LP
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return a value of
zero. Otherwise, they shall return the corresponding error
number.
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_get_attr\fP() function stores the trace attributes
in the object pointed to by \fIattr\fP, if
successful.
.LP
The \fIposix_trace_get_status\fP() function stores the trace status
in the object pointed to by \fIstatusinfo\fP, if
successful.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
These functions shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B EINVAL
The trace stream argument \fItrid\fP does not correspond to a valid
active trace stream or a valid trace log.
