Hi Federico,

I finally got around to looking at these. Sorry for the really slow
reply, but I had a bunch of kernel work I needed to get done before
digging again into trace-cmd.

I like this!

Yes, if we decide not to use GNU specific code, then we can implement
our own version.

I'm going to remove the comment. If you look at the code above it, You
will see that 'p' is used to find the last instance of '/' in path.
Then the *p = '\0' is used to remove it.

Now this part is not correct. It is actually buggy. If you noticed the
malloc, it allocates strlen(sched->filter_file) + strlen(sched_path) + 2.
Which is probably a little more than needed.

Here I copy in the sched->filter_file which is the path I want, but I
don't want the "/filter" part. So it is cut off below and the
sched_path is copied in.

Hmm, what would be better is to:

        asprintf(path, "%s/%s", dirname(sched->filter_file), sched_path);

And remove all this open coded stuff. The same can probably be done
above where you had the "fixme".

The rest looks good. Do you want to send an updated patch, or do you
want me to fix the above?
