+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This set of APIs can be used to manipulate a bitmask with option IDs.
+
+The _tracefs_option_set()_ function sets the bit, corresponding to the option with _id_ in the
+_options_ bitmask.
+
+The _tracefs_option_clear()_ function clears the bit, corresponding to the option with _id_ in the
+_options_ bitmask.
+
+The _tracefs_option_is_set()_ function checks if the bit, corresponding to the option with _id_ is
+set in the _options_ bitmask.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tracefs_option_is_set()_ function returns true if the bit is set, false otherwise.

+NAME

+tracefs_options_get_supported, tracefs_option_is_supported,

+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------

+
+struct tracefs_options_mask pass:[*]*tracefs_options_get_supported*(struct tracefs_instance pass:[*]_instance_);

+bool *tracefs_option_is_enabled*(struct tracefs_instance pass:[*]_instance_, enum tracefs_option_id _id_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This set of APIs can be used to get and check current ftrace options. Supported ftrace options may
+depend on the kernel version and the kernel configuration.
+
+The _tracefs_options_get_supported()_ function gets all ftrace options supported by the system in
+the given _instance_. If _instance_ is NULL, supported options of the top trace instance are
+returned. The set of supported options must be the same in all trace instances.
+
+The _tracefs_option_is_supported()_ function checks if the option with given _id_ is supported by
+the system in the given _instance_. If _instance_ is NULL, the top trace instance is used. If an
+option is supported at the top trace instance, it must be supported in all trace instances also.
+
+The _tracefs_options_get_enabled()_ function gets all ftrace options, currently enabled in
+the given _instance_. If _instance_ is NULL, enabled options of the top trace instance are returned.
+
+The _tracefs_option_is_enabled()_ function checks if the option with given _id_ is enabled in the
+given _instance_. If _instance_ is NULL, the top trace instance is used.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tracefs_options_get_supported()_ and _tracefs_options_get_enabled()_ functions return pointer
+to allocated bitmask with trace options, or NULL in case of an error. The returned bitmask must be
+freed with free();
+
+The _tracefs_option_is_supported()_ and _tracefs_option_is_enabled()_ functions return true if the
+option in supported / enabled, or false otherwise.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <tracefs.h>
+...
+struct tracefs_options_mask *options;
+...
+options = tracefs_options_get_supported(NULL);
+if (!options) {
+ /* Failed to get supported options */
+} else {
+ ...
+ free(options);
+}
+...
+options = tracefs_options_get_enabled(NULL);
+if (!options) {
+ /* Failed to get options, enabled in the top instance */
+} else {
+ ...
+ free(options);
+}
+...
+
+if (tracefs_option_is_supported(NULL, TRACEFS_OPTION_LATENCY_FORMAT)) {
+ /* Latency format option is supprted */

+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This set of APIs can be used to enable and disable ftrace options and to get the name of an option.
+
+The _tracefs_option_enable()_ function enables the option with _id_ in the given _instance_. If
+_instance_ is NULL, the option is enabled in the top trace instance.
+
+The _tracefs_option_diasble()_ function disables the option with _id_ in the given _instance_. If
+_instance_ is NULL, the option is disabled in the top trace instance.
+
+The _tracefs_option_name()_ function returns a string, representing the option with _id_. The string
+must *not* be freed.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tracefs_option_enable()_ and _tracefs_option_diasble()_ functions return 0 if the state of the
+option is set successfully, or -1 in case of an error.
+
+The _tracefs_option_name()_ function returns string with option name, or "unknown" in case of an
+error. The returned string must *not* be freed.

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This enum contains all ftrace options, that can be manipulated using tracefs library. More detailed
+information about each option is available in Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst from the Linux
+kernel tree, in the trace_options section. Note that some ftrace options cannot be manipulated by
+this library, as they are intended for internal, debug purposes. These options control the tracers
+or the trace output. All options have two states - on and off, the default state is different for
+each of them.
+[verse]
+--
+Common options for all tracers:
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_INVALID* Not a valid ftrace option, used by the API to indicate an error.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_ANNOTATE* Display when a new CPU buffer started.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_BIN* Display the formats in raw binary.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_CONTEXT_INFO* Show only the event data. Hides the comm, PID, timestamp, CPU, and other useful data.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_BLOCK* When set, reading trace_pipe will not block when polled.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_DISABLE_ON_FREE* When the free_buffer is closed, tracing will stop.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_DISPLAY_GRAPH* When set, the latency tracers will use function graph tracing instead of function tracing.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_EVENT_FORK* When set, tasks with PIDs listed in set_event_pid will have the PIDs of their children added to set_event_pid when those tasks fork.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FUNCTION_FORK* When set, tasks with PIDs listed in set_ftrace_pid will have the PIDs of their children added to set_ftrace_pid when those tasks fork.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FUNCTION_TRACE* When enabled, the latency tracers will trace functions.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_HEX* Display numbers in a hexadecimal format.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_IRQ_INFO* Display the interrupt, preempt count, need resched data.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_LATENCY_FORMAT* Display additional information about the latency.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_MARKERS* When set, the trace_marker is enabled - writable (only by root).
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_OVERWRITE* Controls what happens when the trace buffer is full. If set, the oldest events are discarded and overwritten. If disabled, then the newest events are discarded.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_PAUSE_ON_TRACE* When set, opening the trace file for read, will pause writing to the ring buffer. When the file is closed, tracing will be enabled again.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_PRINTK_MSG_ONLY* When set, trace_printk()s will only show the format and not their parameters.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_PRINT_PARENT* On function traces, display the calling (parent) function as well as the function being traced.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_RAW* Display raw numbers.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_RECORD_CMD* Save a mapping with a pid and corresponding command.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_RECORD_TGID* Save a mapping with a pid and corresponding Thread Group IDs.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_STACKTRACE* Record a stack trace after any trace event.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_SYM_ADDR* Display the function address as well as the function name.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_SYM_OFFSET* Display not only the function name, but also the offset in the function.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_SYM_USEROBJ* When *TRACEFS_OPTION_USERSTACKTRACE* is set, look up which object the address belongs to, and print the object and a relative address.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_TRACE_PRINTK* Disable trace_printk() from writing into the buffer.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_USERSTACKTRACE* Records a stack trace of the current user space thread after each trace event.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_VERBOSE* When *TRACEFS_OPTION_LATENCY_FORMAT* is enabled, print more detailed information.
+
+Options, specific to function tracer:
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FUNC_STACKTRACE* Record a stack trace after every function.
+
+Options, specific to function_graph tracer:
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_ABSTIME* Display the timestamp at each line.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_CPU* Display the CPU number of the CPU where the trace occurred.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_DURATION* Display the duration of the amount of time at the end of each function, in microseconds.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_IRQS* Trace functions that happen inside an interrupt.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_OVERHEAD* Display a marker if a function takes longer than a certain amount of time.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_OVERRUN* Display "overrun" of the call graph, in the case of functions missed due to big callstack.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_PROC* Display the command of each process at every line.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_FGRAPH_TAIL* Display the function name on its return.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_SLEEP_TIME* Account time the task has been scheduled out as part of the function call.
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_GRAPH_TIME* Display the time to call nested functions, if function profiler is enabled.
+
+Options, specific to blk tracer:
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_BLK_CGNAME*
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_BLK_CGROUP*
+ *TRACEFS_OPTION_BLK_CLASSIC* Display a more minimalistic output.
