.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBtracefs_hist_start()\fR is called to actually start the histogram \fIhist\fR\&. The \fIinstance\fR is the instance to start the histogram in, NULL if it should start at the top level\&.
.sp
\fBtracefs_hist_pause()\fR is called to pause the histogram \fIhist\fR\&. The \fIinstance\fR is the instance to pause the histogram in, NULL if it is in the top level\&.
.sp
\fBtracefs_hist_continue()\fR is called to continue a paused histogram \fIhist\fR\&. The \fIinstance\fR is the instance to continue the histogram, NULL if it is in the top level\&.
.sp
\fBtracefs_hist_reset()\fR is called to clear / reset the histogram \fIhist\fR\&. The \fIinstance\fR is the instance to clear the histogram, NULL if it is in the top level\&.
.sp
\fBtracefs_hist_destroy()\fR is called to delete the histogram where it will no longer exist\&. The \fIinstance\fR is the instance to delete the histogram from, NULL if it is in the top level\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
All the return zero on success or \-1 on error\&.
