Values

size is the size (in bytes) of the trace table.

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.

Note

If size is 0, the trace table is not used.

Default is 0.



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.

Default is never.
