+The *tracecmd_iterate_reset()* function resets the cursor back to the start of the

 The *tracecmd_follow_event()* function will attach to a trace file descriptor _handle_
 and call the _callback_ when the event described by _system_ and _name_ matches an event
 in the iteration of *tracecmd_iterate_events()* or *tracecmd_iterate_events_multi()*.
