%% Description:
%% The inviso_tool implementation. A tool that uses inviso.
%%
%% Authors:
%% Lennart Öhman, lennart.ohman@st.se
%% -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-module(inviso_tool).


%% This is the inviso tool, which is a tool using the inviso trace application.
%% It is developed to make tracing using trace cases possible in an environment
%% of distributed Erlang nodes.
%% A current restriction is that the Erlang nodes are supposed to have the same
%% code. This since inviso tool can at this point not handle subsets of nodes.
%% Instead all participating Erlang nodes are treated the same.
%%
%% The main functionality of the inviso tool are:
%%
%% (1) Handles start and stop of tracing at participating nodes.
%% (2) Interprets trace-case files at a distributed network level.
%%     (The inviso runtime component is responsible for interpreting
%%      trace cases at a local level, if run in an autostart).
%% (3) Keeps a command history log from which:
%%     (a) Sequences easily can be repeated.
%%     (b) Autostart configuration files can be created (understood by the
%%         default inviso autostart mechanism).
%% (4) Performs reactivation in case tracing is suspended (manually or by
%%     an overload mechanism).
%% (5) Can reconnect crashed nodes and by using the history bringing them
%%     up to speed.

%% Distributed Erlang
%% ------------------
%% Inviso is built to run in a distributed environment.
%% The inviso tool can also be used in a non distributed environment.

%% Short description
%% -----------------
%% Start-up of the inviso tool
%% During the start-up of the tool, the tool starts runtime components at
%% all participating nodes. A runtime component can already be running at
%% a particular node and will then simply be adopted.
%%
%% Session
%% A session is said to start when tracing is initiated, and ends when
%% made to stop by the user. When a session is stopped, tracing is stopped
%% at all participating nodes. Note that participating nodes may come and
%% go though the time-frame of a session. That means that if a node is
%% reconnected it may resume its tracing in the current session through
%% a 'restart_session'. A runtime component that is already tracing at the
%% time start-session will simply be part of the session without its
%% ingoing tracing being changed.
%%
%% Reactivation
%% A node that is suspended can be reactivated to resume tracing. Note that
%% tracing has in this situation never been stopped at the node in question.
%% The inviso tool resumes the node and applies the history to it.
%%
%% Reconnect
%% A node that is "down" from the inviso tool's perspective can be
%% reconnected. During reconnection the tool restarts the runtime component
%% at that node but does not (re)initiate tracing. The latter is called
%% restart_session and must be done explicitly, unless the node in question
%% is in fact already tracing. If the node is already tracing (due to an autostart
%% for instance), it automatically becomes part of the ongoing session (if
%% there is an ongoing session).
%%
%% Restart Session
%% A node that has been down and has been reconnected can be made to
%% initialize and resume its tracing. This is done by starting the session
%% at the node in question and redoing the current history.

%% Trace files within a session
%% Since it is possible to init-tracing (from an inviso perspective) several
%% times within the same session, a session may leave several trace log files
%% behind. This must be resolved by the tracer data generator function
%% (user supplied) by marking filenames in a chronological order but still
%% making them possible to identify as part of the same session
