+ This example declares several tracing categories to that are used to
+ classify its tasks. When the program is executed, the tracing mechanism
+ registers the resource utilization of hosts and links according to these
+ categories. Recommended options:
+ ``--cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/categorized:yes --cfg=tracing/uncategorized:yes``

+ - **Master Workers tracing**
+ This is an augmented version of our basic master/worker example using
+ several tracing features. It traces resource usage, sorted out in several
+ categories; Trace marks and user variables are also used. Recommended
+ options: ``--cfg=tracing/categorized:yes --cfg=tracing/uncategorized:yes``
+

+ as arrows in a Gantt-chart visualization. Recommended options to that

+Tracing user variables
+----------------------
+
+You can also attach your own variables to any resource described in the platform
+file. The following examples illustrate this feature. They have to be run with
+the following options: ``--cfg=tracing:yes --cfg=tracing/platform:yes``
+
+ - **Attaching variables to Hosts**
+
+ .. tabs::
+
+ .. example-tab:: examples/s4u/trace-host-user-variables/s4u-trace-host-user-variables.cpp
+
+ - **Attaching variables to Links**
+ The tricky part is that you have to know the name of the link you want to
+ enhance with a variable.
+
+ .. tabs::
+
+ .. example-tab:: examples/s4u/trace-link-user-variables/s4u-trace-link-user-variables.cpp
+
+ - **Attaching variables to network Routes**
+ It is often easier to update a given variable for all links of a given
+ network path (identified by its source and destination hosts) instead of
+ knowing the name of each specific link.
