NAME

trace_start - start collecting driver trace

SYNOPSIS

void trace_start(string filename, int auto_stop_sec = 30)

DESCRIPTION

Calling this function will start collecting tracing information from the
driver. This includes LPC function level execution information.

The trace collection will stop and write the json data to  `filename` on
`trace_end()`  or after  `auto_stop_sec`  seconds,  which defaults to 30 
seconds.

Note: do not leave tracing enabled for too long or you will risk running
out of memory.

ANALYSIS

To read and analyze the json file, use Chrome or Firefox Developer Tools
Performance tab.
