We can still have a global variable in trace-record.c called quiet. And that gets set by the parameter: case OPT_quite: case 'q': quiet = 1; break; [..] tracecmd_set_quiet(handle, quiet); This is the proper way to handle it. The functions local to trace-record.c, can just use its own quiet state variable, but when we set quiet, we use the tracecmd_set_quiet() to notify the library that it too should be quiet. -- Steve
