Makes a trace pattern suitable to feed change_pattern/1
.LP
Min detail level deactivates tracing of calls to phone_home/4,5
.LP
Max detail level activates tracing of all calls to phone_home/4,5
.LP
integer(X) detail level activates tracing of all calls to phone_home/4,5 whose detail level argument is lesser than X\&.
.LP
See also erlang:trace_pattern/2 for more info about its match_spec()

Activates/deactivates tracing by changing the current trace pattern\&.
.LP
Min detail level deactivates tracing of calls to phone_home/4,5
.LP
Max detail level activates tracing of all calls to phone_home/4,5
.LP
integer(X) detail level activates tracing of all calls to phone_home/4,5 whose detail level argument is lesser than X\&.
.LP
An empty match spec deactivates tracing of calls to phone_home/4,5
.LP
Other match specs activates tracing of calls to phone_home/4,5 accordlingly with erlang:trace_pattern/2\&.

.LP
Transforms trace data and makes an event record out of it\&.
.LP
See erlang:trace/3 for more info about the semantics of the trace data\&.
.LP
An event record consists of the following fields: detail_level - Noise has a high level as opposed to essentials\&. trace_ts - Time when the trace was generated\&. Same as event_ts if omitted in trace data\&. event_ts - Time when the event record was created\&. from - From actor, such as sender of a message\&. to - To actor, such as receiver of message\&. label - Label intended to provide a brief event summary\&. contents - All nitty gritty details of the event\&.
.LP
See et:phone_home/4 and et:phone_home/5 for details\&.
.LP
Returns: {true, Event} - where Event is an #event{} record representing the trace data true - means that the trace data already is an event record and that it is valid as it is\&. No transformation is needed\&. false - means that the trace data is uninteresting and should be dropped
