These functions are only meant to be used in meta tracing <c>CallFunc</c> and <c>RemoveFunc</c>.</p> - <p>It can sometimes be necessary to manipulate meta match-patterns from <c>CallFunc</c>s and <c>RemoveFunc</c>s. The problem then is that call-funcs and remove-funcs are meta trace call-backs executed inside the inviso meta tracer's context. Hence making calls to the regular API's manipulating meta trace-patterns will hang the inviso meta tracer!.</p> - <p>To remedy this problem, a number of useful tpm-functions are available in this API. It must be understood that their actions are local to the Erlang node where they are called.</p> - </description> - <funcs> - <func> - <name>tpm_ms(Mod,Func,Arity,MSname,MS) -> {ok,0} | {ok,1} | {error,not_initiated}</name> - <fsummary>Adds a list of match-specs, associated with the name <c>MSname</c>, to <c>Mod:Func/Arity</c>.</fsummary> - <desc> - <p>See inviso:tpm_ms/6 for details. Note that this function only effects meta trace-patterns on the Erlang node where the function is called.
