Hi Arnand,

I think you are looking for the liblttng-ctl library.

http://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=tree;f=src/lib/lttng-ctl;hb=HEAD

It is the library that the lttng command is based on, but you can also
use it in your program. I don't know if there is an official
documentation, but if you want to know how to do something using the
API, you can always look up the lttng command code and see what it
does.

It is in C, however. If you want to make an wrapper that is more C++
oriented, I am sure it would be a very appreciated contribution :).
