Description

A library for working with the Linux tracefs interface, which exposes kernel tracing controls and data through a special filesystem.

It is kernel diagnostic infrastructure. Tools using it can inspect detailed runtime behavior, so they may require elevated permissions and should handle captured data carefully.
