Hi Steve,

I used to reply on tracefs_tracing_dir(). But after updated the
libtracefs yesterday, I found my app doesn't work as before, then
checked the changelog, and switch to use
tracefs_tracing_dir_is_mounted. 

in your latest libtracefs:


const char *tracefs_tracing_dir(void) {

...
tracing_dir = trace_find_tracing_dir(false);//shold be changed to true?
...
	
}


__hidden char *trace_find_tracing_dir(bool debugfs)
{
        return find_tracing_dir(debugfs, false);
}



static char *find_tracing_dir(bool debugfs, bool mount) {

...
	if (!mount || mount_debugfs() < 0)
		return NULL;


...


}


Kind regards,
Bean
