       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The OS
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
       OS manual page for details of OS behavior), or the interface may not be
       implemented on OS.

       The _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() function shall reinitialize the trace stream
       identified by the argument _t_r_i_d as if it were returning from the
       _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_r_e_a_t_e() function, except that the same allocated resources
       shall be reused, the mapping of trace event type identifiers to trace
       event names shall be unchanged, and the trace stream status shall
       remain unchanged (that is, if it was running, it remains running and if
       it was suspended, it remains suspended).

       All trace events in the trace stream recorded before the call to
       _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() shall be lost. The _p_o_s_i_x___s_t_r_e_a_m___f_u_l_l___s_t_a_t_u_s status
       shall be set to POSIX_TRACE_NOT_FULL.  There is no guarantee that all
       trace events that occurred during the _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() call are
       recorded; the behavior with respect to trace points that may occur
       during this call is unspecified.

       If the Trace Log option is supported and the trace stream has been
       created with a log, the _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() function shall reinitialize
       the trace stream with the same behavior as if the trace stream was
       created without the log, plus it shall reinitialize the trace log
       associated with the trace stream identified by the argument _t_r_i_d as if
       it were returning from the _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_r_e_a_t_e___w_i_t_h_l_o_g() function,
       except that the same allocated resources, for the trace log, may be
       reused and the associated trace stream status remains unchanged.  The
       first trace event recorded in the trace log after the call to
       _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() shall be the same as the first trace event recorded
       in the active trace stream after the call to _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r().  The
       _p_o_s_i_x___l_o_g___f_u_l_l___s_t_a_t_u_s status shall be set to POSIX_TRACE_NOT_FULL.
       There is no guarantee that all trace events that occurred during the
       _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() call are recorded in the trace log; the behavior
       with respect to trace points that may occur during this call is
       unspecified. If the log full policy is POSIX_TRACE_APPEND, the effect
       of a call to this function is unspecified for the trace log associated
       with the trace stream identified by the _t_r_i_d argument.

       Upon successful completion, the _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() function shall
       return a value of zero. Otherwise, it shall return the corresponding
       error number.

EERRRROORRSS
       The _p_o_s_i_x___t_r_a_c_e___c_l_e_a_r() function shall fail if:
