Tracy v0.1.0 Tracy.Tracer View Source
Tracer process.
For every active trace, a tracer process is started which receives all tracing information from the process being traced.
This Tracer genserver is responsible for shutting down after the max_entries limit has been reached. Furthermore, it passes along all incoming traces to an “upstream” process. This construction is needed because the upstream process might reside on a different node. (as part of the tracy_web app).
