+Package trace provides an implementation of the tracing part of the
+OpenTelemetry API.
+
+To participate in distributed traces a Span needs to be created for the
+operation being performed as part of a traced workflow. In its simplest form:
+
+ var tracer trace.Tracer
+
+ func init() {
+ tracer = otel.Tracer("instrumentation/package/name")
+ }
+
+ func operation(ctx context.Context) {
+ var span trace.Span
+ ctx, span = tracer.Start(ctx, "operation")
+ defer span.End()
+ // ...
+ }
+
+A Tracer is unique to the instrumentation and is used to create Spans.
+Instrumentation should be designed to accept a TracerProvider from which it
+can create its own unique Tracer. Alternatively, the registered global
+TracerProvider from the go.opentelemetry.io/otel package can be used as
+a default.
+
+ const (
+ name = "instrumentation/package/name"
+ version = "0.1.0"
+ )
+
+ type Instrumentation struct {
+ tracer trace.Tracer
+ }
+
+ func NewInstrumentation(tp trace.TracerProvider) *Instrumentation {
+ if tp == nil {
+ tp = otel.TracerProvider()
+ }
+ return &Instrumentation{
+ tracer: tp.Tracer(name, trace.WithInstrumentationVersion(version)),
+ }
+ }
+
+ func operation(ctx context.Context, inst *Instrumentation) {
+ var span trace.Span
+ ctx, span = inst.tracer.Start(ctx, "operation")
+ defer span.End()
+ // ...
+ }
