DESCRIPTION
-----------
Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions
to create a string of data to use.
The _trace_seq_init()_ function initializes the trace sequence _s_.
The _trace_seq_destroy()_ function destroys the trace sequence _s_ and frees
all its resources that it had used.
The _trace_seq_reset()_ function re-initializes the trace sequence _s_. All
characters already written in _s_ will be deleted.
The _trace_seq_terminate()_ function terminates the trace sequence _s_. It puts
the null character pass:['\0'] at the end of the buffer.
The _trace_seq_putc()_ function puts a single character _c_ in the trace
sequence _s_.
The _trace_seq_puts()_ function puts a NULL terminated string _str_ in the
trace sequence _s_.
The _trace_seq_printf()_ function puts a formated string _fmt _with
variable arguments _..._ in the trace sequence _s_.
The _trace_seq_vprintf()_ function puts a formated string _fmt _with
list of arguments _args_ in the trace sequence _s_.
The _trace_seq_do_printf()_ function prints the buffer of trace sequence _s_ to
the standard output stdout.
The _trace_seq_do_fprintf()_ function prints the buffer of trace sequence _s_
to the given file _fp_.
RETURN VALUE
------------
Both _trace_seq_putc()_ and _trace_seq_puts()_ functions return the number of
characters put in the trace sequence, or 0 in case of an error
Both _trace_seq_printf()_ and _trace_seq_vprintf()_ functions return 0 if the
trace oversizes the buffer's free space, the number of characters printed, or
a negative value in case of an error.
Both _trace_seq_do_printf()_ and _trace_seq_do_fprintf()_ functions return the
number of printed characters, or -1 in case of an error.

/* Failed to print in the trace sequence */
}
va_end(ap);
}
trace_seq_reset(&seq);
char *str = " MAN page example";
if (trace_seq_puts(&seq, str) != strlen(str)) {
/* Failed to put str in the trace sequence */
}
if (trace_seq_putc(&seq, ':') != 1) {
/* Failed to put ':' in the trace sequence */
}
if (trace_seq_printf(&seq, " trace sequence: %d", 1) <= 0) {
/* Failed to print in the trace sequence */
}
foo_seq_print( &seq, " %d\n", 2);
trace_seq_terminate(&seq);
...
if (trace_seq_do_printf(&seq) < 0 ) {
/* Failed to print the sequence buffer to the standard output */
}
FILE *fp = fopen("trace.txt", "w");
