.IX Item "autowrap( $class1 => %info1, $class2 => %info2, ... )"
.PD
Register classes whose objects are automatically wrapped when
returned by one of the call functions below.  If \f(CW$prefix\fR is provided
it will be used as to name the objects.
.Sp
Alternative is to pass an \f(CW%info\fR hash for each class.  The recognized keys are:
.RS 4
.ie n .IP "prefix => $string" 4
.el .IP "prefix => \f(CW$string\fR" 4
.IX Item "prefix => $string"
The prefix string used to name objects of this type.
.IP "proto => \e%hash" 4
.IX Item "proto => %hash"
A hash of prototypes to use for the methods when an object is wrapped.

.PD
Returns a wrapped function or object.  When a wrapped function is
invoked then a trace is printed after the underlying function has returned.
When a method on a wrapped object is invoked then a trace is printed
after the methods on the underlying objects has returned.
.Sp
See \*(L"Prototypes\*(R" for description of the \f(CW\*(C`proto\*(C'\fR argument.

.el .IP "call( \f(CW$name\fR, \e&func, \f(CW$proto\fR, \f(CW@ARGS\fR )" 4
.IX Item "call( $name, &func, $proto, @ARGS )"
Calls the given function with the given arguments.  The trace will use
\&\f(CW$name\fR as the name of the function.
.Sp
See \*(L"Prototypes\*(R" for description of the \f(CW$proto\fR argument.

Calls the given method with the given arguments.

See \*(L"Prototypes\*(R" for description of the \f(CW$proto\fR argument.
.ie n .IP "trace( $symbol, $prototype )" 4
.el .IP "trace( \f(CW$symbol\fR, \f(CW$prototype\fR )" 4
.IX Item "trace( $symbol, $prototype )"
Replaces the function given by \f(CW$symbol\fR with a wrapped function.
.SS "Prototypes"
.IX Subsection "Prototypes"
\&\fBNote: The prototype string syntax described here is experimental and
likely to change in revisions of this interface\fR.
.PP
The \f(CW$proto\fR argument to \fIcall()\fR and \fImcall()\fR can optionally provide a
prototype for the function call.  This give the tracer hints about how
to best format the argument lists and if there are \fIin/out\fR or \fIout\fR
arguments.  The general form for the prototype string is:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&   <arguments> = <return_value>
.Ve
.PP
The default prototype is \*(L"@ = @\*(R"; list of values as input and list of
values as output.
.PP
The value '%' can be used for both arguments and return value to say
that key/value pair style lists are used.
.PP
Alternatively, individual positional arguments can be listed each
represented by a letter:
.ie n .IP """i""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWi\fR" 4
.IX Item "i"
input argument
.ie n .IP """o""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWo\fR" 4
.IX Item "o"
output argument
.ie n .IP """O""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWO\fR" 4
.IX Item "O"
both input and output argument
.PP
If the return value prototype has \f(CW\*(C`!\*(C'\fR appended, then it signals that
this function sets errno ($!) when it returns a false value.  The
trace will display the current value of errno in that case.
.PP
If the return value prototype looks like a variable name (with \f(CW\*(C`$\*(C'\fR
prefix), and the function returns a blessed object, then the variable
name will be used as prefix and the returned object automatically
traced.
