+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The ``rmr_init_trace`` function establishes the default trace
space placed in each message buffer allocated with
-rmr_alloc_msg(). If this function is never called, then no
-trace space is allocated by default into any message buffer.
+``rmr_alloc_msg().`` If this function is never called, then
+no trace space is allocated by default into any message
+buffer.
Trace space allows the user application to pass some trace
token, or other data with the message, but outside of the
payload. Trace data may be added to any message with
-rmr_set_trace(), and may be extracted from a message with
-rmr_get_trace(). The number of bytes that a message contains
-for/with trace data can be determined by invoking
-rmr_get_trlen().
+``rmr_set_trace(),`` and may be extracted from a message with
+``rmr_get_trace().`` The number of bytes that a message
+contains for/with trace data can be determined by invoking
+``rmr_get_trlen().``
This function may be safely called at any time during the
life of the user programme to (re)set the default trace space
reserved. If the user programme needs to allocate a message
with trace space of a different size than is allocated by
default, without fear of extra overhead of reallocating a
-message later, the rmr_tralloc_msg() function can be used.

A value of 1 is returned on success, and 0 on failure. A
failure indicates that the RMR context (a void pointer passed
to this function was not valid.
