dbtrace(*args, **kwargs)¶

The dbtracecommand is used to manipulate trace objects. The keyword is the only mandatory argument, indicating which trace object is to be altered. Trace Objects to affect (keywordKEY)Optional filtering criteria (filterFILTER)Function (off, outputFILE, mark, titleTITLE, timed: default operation is to enable traces)You can use the query mode to find out which keywords are currently active (query with no arguments) or inactive (query with the offargument). You can enhance that query with or without a keyword argument to find out where their output is going (query with the outputargument), out what filters are currently applied (query with the filterargument), or if their output will be timestamped (query with the timedargument). In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
