Values

size is the size (in bytes) of the table. (A value of 0 indicates that the trace table is not used.)

The size can be suffixed with either of the following characters:

  • M indicates that the size is specified in megabytes
  • K indicates that the size is specified in kilobytes

For example, 50M indicates that 50 X 1,048,576 bytes of memory is allocated for the trace table.



condition is the condition under which the trace table is written.

Possible values for condition are:

  • error
    Write the trace table if the program ends with a non-zero exit code.
  • always
    Write the trace table when the program ends regardless of the exit code.
  • never
    Never write the trace table.
