+NAME
+----
+tracefs_trace_pipe_stream, tracefs_trace_pipe_print -
+redirect the stream of trace data to an output or stdout.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <tracefs.h>*
+
+int tracefs_trace_pipe_stream(int fd, struct tracefs_instance *instance, int flags);
+int tracefs_trace_pipe_print(struct tracefs_instance *instance);
+
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+If NULL is passed as _instance_, the top trace instance is used.
+The user can interrupt the streaming of the data by pressing Ctrl-c.
+
+The _tracefs_trace_pipe_stream()_ function redirects the stream of trace data to an output
+file. The "splice" system call is used to moves the data without copying between kernel
+address space and user address space. The _fd_ is the file descriptor of the output file
+and _flags_ is a bit mask of flags to be passed to the "splice" system call.
+
+The _tracefs_trace_pipe_print()_ function is similar to _tracefs_trace_pipe_stream()_, but
+the stream of trace data is redirected to stdout.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tracefs_trace_pipe_stream()_, and _tracefs_trace_pipe_print()_ functions return 0 if the operation is
+successful, or -1 in case of an error.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <tracefs.h>
+
+int main(int argc, char **argv)
+{
+	mode_t mode = S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH;
+	const char *filename = "./test.out";
+	int fd = creat(filename, mode);
+
+	return tracefs_trace_pipe_stream(fd, NULL, 0);
