+NAME
+----
+tracecmd_pair_peer, tracecmd_unpair_peer, tracecmd_get_traceid,
+tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap - Manage trace session with multiple trace peers,
+recorded in multiple trace files.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <trace-cmd.h>*
+
+int *tracecmd_pair_peer*(struct tracecmd_input pass:[*]_handle_, struct tracecmd_input pass:[*]_peer_);
+void *tracecmd_unpair_peer*(struct tracecmd_input pass:[*]_handle_);
+unsigned long long *tracecmd_get_traceid*(struct tracecmd_input pass:[*]_handle_);
+int *tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap*(struct tracecmd_input pass:[*]_handle_, unsigned long long _trace_id_, const char pass:[*]pass:[*]_name_, int pass:[*]_vcpu_count_, const int pass:[*]pass:[*]_cpu_pid_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This set of APIs can be used to manage trace session with multiple trace
+peers, like in tracing kernels of host and guests machines. The trace data
+of each peer from the session is recorded in separate trace file.
+Information about peers from the session is stored in the metadata of each
+trace file. These APIs use that information to extract and synchronize
+the trace data.
+
+The _tracecmd_pair_peer()_ function pairs two tracecmd_input handlers,
+associated with two trace files from same trace session. This API must
+be called before _tracecmd_init_data()(3)_, as the initialisation of
+the trace data depends on that. If there is a tracing peer, the event
+timestamps are recalculated in order to be in the same time space.
+
+The _tracecmd_unpair_peer()_ function unpairs a peer from _handle_,
+previously paired with _tracecmd_pair_peer()_.
+
+The _tracecmd_get_traceid()_ function returns the trace ID stored in
+trace file metadata, associated with _handle_. Each peer from a trace
+session has an ID unique for that peer and that trace session only.
+This ID is used to match multiple trace files recorded in a same trace
+session.
+
+The _tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap()_ function gets the mapping of guest
+VCPU to the host process, stored in the metadata of the trace file
+associated with _handle_. This information is gathered during a host-guest
+trace session and is stored in host trace file. The _trace_id_ parameter is
+the trace ID of the guest in this particular trace session. If a guest
+with that ID was part of that session, its VCPU to host process mapping
+is in the host trace file and the information is returned in _name_,
+_vcpu_count_ and _cpu_pid_ parameters. In _name_ is returned the name
+of the guest, in _vcpu_count_ is returned the count of VCPUs of that
+guest and in _cpu_pid_ array is returned the VCPU to host process mapping.
+The array is of size _vcpu_count_ where the index is VCPU and the value
+is PID of the host process, running that VCPU. The _name_, _vcpu_count_
+and _cpu_pid_ values must *not* be freed.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tracecmd_pair_peer()_ function returns 1, if a peer is already
+paired, -1 in case of an error or 0 otherwise.
+
+The tracecmd_get_traceid() function returns a 64 bit trace ID.
+
+The _tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap()_ function returns -1 in case of
+an error or 0 otherwise. If 0 is returned, in the _name_, _vcpu_count_
+and _cpu_pid_ parameters is stored requested information.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <trace-cmd.h>
+...
+struct tracecmd_input *host = tracecmd_open_head("trace.dat");
+ if (!host) {
+ /* Failed to open host trace file */
+ }
+ tracecmd_init_data(host);
+
+struct tracecmd_input *guest = tracecmd_open_head("trace-Guest.dat");
+ if (!guest) {
+ /* Failed to open guest trace file */
+ }
+
+unsigned long long guest_id = tracecmd_get_traceid(guest);
+int *cpu_pid;
+char *name;
+int vcount;
+
+ if (!tracecmd_get_guest_cpumap(host, guest_id, &name, &vcount, &cpu_pid)) {
+ /* The Host and a guest with name was part of the same trace session.
+ * Got guest VCPU to host PID mapping.
+ */
+ if (!tracecmd_pair_peer(guest, host)) {
+ /* Successfully paired host to the guest handler */
+ tracecmd_init_data(guest);
+ ...
+ tracecmd_unpair_peer(guest);
+ }
+ }
+
+...
+ tracecmd_close(guest);
+ tracecmd_close(hadle);
