TraceLogging
Purpose
TraceLogging is a system for logging events that can be decoded without a manifest. On Windows, TraceLogging is used in user-mode and kernel-mode to generate Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) events. TraceLogging builds on Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) and provides a simplified way to instrument code.
