<span id="revdate">2023-08-29</span>
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="preamble">
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The Trace2 API can be used to print debug, performance, and telemetry
information to stderr or a file.  The Trace2 feature is inactive unless
explicitly enabled by enabling one or more Trace2 Targets.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The Trace2 API is intended to replace the existing (Trace1)
<code>printf()</code>-style tracing provided by the existing <code>GIT_TRACE</code> and
<code>GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE</code> facilities.  During initial implementation,
Trace2 and Trace1 may operate in parallel.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The Trace2 API defines a set of high-level messages with known fields,
such as (<code>start</code>: <code>argv</code>) and (<code>exit</code>: {<code>exit-code</code>, <code>elapsed-time</code>}).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Trace2 instrumentation throughout the Git code base sends Trace2
messages to the enabled Trace2 Targets.  Targets transform these
messages content into purpose-specific formats and write events to
their data streams.  In this manner, the Trace2 API can drive
many different types of analysis.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Targets are defined using a VTable allowing easy extension to other
formats in the future.  This might be used to define a binary format,
for example.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Trace2 is controlled using <code>trace2.*</code> config values in the system and
global config files and <code>GIT_TRACE2*</code> environment variables.  Trace2 does
not read from repo local or worktree config files, nor does it respect
<code>-c</code> command line config settings.</p></div>

will have the value "timeout".
If the child starts but the parent is unable to probe it, the field
will have the value "error".</p></div>

the parent will not emit an updated event.</p></div>

The child is assumed to be a long-running daemon process and may
outlive the parent process.  So the parent&#8217;s child event times should
not be compared to the child&#8217;s atexit times.</p></div>
