+================
+
+NAME
+----
+trace_seq_reset,trace_seq_terminate - Reset / terminate a trace sequence.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+*#include <trace-seq.h>*
+
+void *trace_seq_reset*(struct trace_seq pass:[*]_s_);
+void *trace_seq_terminate*(struct trace_seq pass:[*]_s_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions
+to create a string of data to use.
+
+The _trace_seq_reset()_ function re-initializes the trace sequence _s_. All
+characters already written in _s_ will be deleted.
+
+The _trace_seq_terminate()_ function terminates the trace sequence _s_. It puts
+the null character pass:['\0'] at the end of the buffer.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+#include <trace-seq.h>
+...
+struct trace_seq seq;
+trace_seq_init(&seq);
+...
+trace_seq_reset(&seq);
+...
+trace_seq_terminate(&seq);
+...
