%% Start API
%% ==============================================================================

%% Note that the runtime component may be started in many different ways.
%% It can be autostarted by the runtime_tools_sup during initial start-up of the
%% system. It is actually most likely that it will be started that way. However
%% if there are no autostart trace-cases to run, the inviso_rt runtime component
%% will terminate. It will then however remain as a child of the runtime_tools_sup
%% supervisor. This means that if the runtime component is started again, manually,
%% by the control component, some actions must be taken.
%% For instance is it very likely that the child already exists. But since it
%% must be started with different arguments when started manually, the child-spec
%% must be changed.
%%
%% The runtime component is not a proper gen_server, to allow full control of
%% what happens. It however mimcs gen_server behaviour to be managed by the
%% runtime_tools_sup supervisor.


%% start_link_auto(AutoModArgs)={ok,Pid}
%%
%% This function is entered into the child-spec when planning on doing autostart
%% of the runtime component. The autostart is controlled by the so called
%% inviso_autostart_mod. It is an application environment parameter of the
%% runtime_tools application. If it exists, it shall point out a module name.
%% If it does not exist, the default 'inviso_autostart' module will be tried.
%% Note that these start_link functions do not implement proper otp-behaviour.
%% For instance they return {ok,Pid} immediately making the init-phase of the
%% runtime component process empty.
%%
%% The inviso_autostart_mod shall export one function:
%%   autostart(AutoModArgs) -> {MFA,Options,Tag}, where
%%     AutoModArgs=term(), comes from the application start parameters in the
%%       runtime_tools application resource file.
%%     MFA={Mod,Func,Args} | term().
%%       If it is MFA it will cause a trace initiator process to start spawning
%%       on spawn_link(Mod,Func,Args). The trace initiator may for instance
%%       initiate the wanted tracing.
start_link_auto(AutoModArgs) ->
    {ok,spawn_link(?MODULE,auto_init,[AutoModArgs,self()])}.
%% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

%% This function is entered into the child-specification of the runtime_tools_sup
%% if the runtime component shall be started manually via the control component.
start_link_man(Ctrl,Options,Tag) ->
    {ok,spawn_link(?MODULE,init,[Ctrl,Options,Tag,self()])}.
%% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

%% start(Node,Options,Tag,Condition)=tbd
%%   Node=The node where the runtime component shall be started.
%%   Options=[Opt]; List of options to the runtime component.
%%     Opt={dependency,Val}|{dependency,{Val,Node}}
%%       Val=int()|infinity
%%       If the runtime component may run on its own or not. Val=0 means a runtime
%%       component which will terminate immediately without its control component.
%%       Note that if the runtime component is started manually, the Node part
%%       is never used. The runtime is supposed to be dependent of the Ctrl mentioned
%%       in the start_link_man parameters.
%%     Opt={overload,OverLoad} | overload
%%           The latter means no loadcheck. Necessary if changing the options.
%%       Overload=Iterval (int() in milliseconds) |
%%         {LoadMF,Interval}|{LoadMF,Interval,InitMFA,RemoveMFA}
%%           LoadMF={Mod,Func}|function()
%%           InitMFA,RemoveMFA={Mod,Func,ArgList} where
%%             apply(InitM,InitF,InitArgs) -> {ok,DataStruct}|'void'.
%%             apply(RemoveM,RemoveF,[DataStruct|Args]) -> don't care
%%             LoadMF is called each time loadcheck is performed.
%%               Mod:Func(DataStruct)->ok|{suspend,Reason}
%%           If just Interval is used, it means using a default overload check.
%%     Tag=term(), used to identify an incarnation of a runtime component so that
%%       a control component reconnecting will know if it was its own incarnation
%%       still alive, or some elses.
%%     Condition='if_ref'|term(). Controls if we want to adopt the runtime component.
%%       If 'if_ref' is stated it means that we only want to adopt a runtime component
%%       with the suggested Tag.
%%
%% This is the API used by the control component when tries to start a runtime
%% component. Note that it will try to adopt an already running, if possible.
%% Adoptions are only possible if the runtime component at hand is running
%% without control component.

%% Functions working on the tracerdata structure.
%% -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

%% Tracerdata is the structure which specifies to where tracing is logged at this
%% runtime component. It may now (and in the future specify) several things.
%% Currently it can consist of:
%% LogTD: specifying how trace-log data shall be handled.
%% TiTD : trace information, specifying how trace information shall be handled.
%%
%% Tracerdata may also contain quick or standard forms of LogTD and/or TiTD.
%% For instance if a standard handler-fun shall be used. The handler fun is not
%% part of the tracerdata but rather specified by a constant.


%% Help function that translates an input-tracerdata to useful internal formats.
%% This since the tracerdata may consist of specifications which shall be
%% translated into funs or similar.
