// This example demonstrates system-wide tracing with Perfetto.
//
// 1). To use it, first build the `tracebox` and this file. The tracebox will
// internally build tracing service (traced, which is long running
// process / daemon ) and perfetto consumer client, and many other perfetto
// tracing related tools.
// `ninja -C out/default/ tracebox example_system_wide`
//
// 2). Run traced (long running process), and open another terminal tab.
// `./out/default/tracebox traced`
//
// 3). Run this file. This is main application to trace.
// `./out/default/example_system_wide`
//
// 4). Use perfetto client to start a session and record trace in a file.
// `./out/default/tracebox perfetto -c /tmp/trace_config.txt --txt
//      -o /tmp/trace_output`
//
// but before running that command, put following trace config (protobuf config)
// in a file named `/tmp/trace_config.txt`
// This can also be copied from: https://pastebin.com/embed_iframe/ufmtBBuq
// ---------------------
// buffers: {
//     size_kb: 63488
// }
// data_sources: {
//     config {
//         name: "track_event"
//     }
// }
// duration_ms: 10000
// ---------------------
// After running the command above, trace will be saved in `/tmp/trace_output`
// file. It is a binary content. We can read it by running:
// `./tools/traceconv text /tmp/trace_output`
// Or we can use "Open Trace File" option in the perfetto UI
// (https://ui.perfetto.dev)
