5 * The Trace2 API can be used to print debug, performance, and telemetry
6 * information to stderr or a file. The Trace2 feature is inactive unless
7 * explicitly enabled by enabling one or more Trace2 Targets.
8 *
9 * The Trace2 API is intended to replace the existing (Trace1)
10 * printf-style tracing provided by the existing `GIT_TRACE` and
11 * `GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE` facilities. During initial implementation,
12 * Trace2 and Trace1 may operate in parallel.
13 *
14 * The Trace2 API defines a set of high-level messages with known fields,
15 * such as (`start`: `argv`) and (`exit`: {`exit-code`, `elapsed-time`}).
16 *
17 * Trace2 instrumentation throughout the Git code base sends Trace2
18 * messages to the enabled Trace2 Targets. Targets transform these
19 * messages content into purpose-specific formats and write events to
20 * their data streams. In this manner, the Trace2 API can drive
21 * many different types of analysis.
22 *
23 * Targets are defined using a VTable allowing easy extension to other
24 * formats in the future. This might be used to define a binary format,
25 * for example.
26 *
27 * Trace2 is controlled using `trace2.*` config values in the system and
28 * global config files and `GIT_TRACE2*` environment variables. Trace2 does
29 * not read from repo local or worktree config files or respect `-c`
30 * command line config settings.
31 *
32 * For more info about: trace2 targets, conventions for public functions and
33 * macros, trace2 target formats and examples on trace2 API usage refer to
34 * Documentation/technical/api-trace2.txt
