+set-trace-file
+--------------
+
+Set a new output file to log trace data to.
+
+Arguments:
+
+- "filename": name of new output file to write trace data to.
+ (json-string, optional)
+- "enable": if false, traces are not written to file.
+ : Only when this is 'true' that trace buffer contents get logged
+ in a file. (json-bool, optional, defaults to false)
+- "flush": if true, contents of trace buffer are immediately written to file,
+ instead of waiting for the buffer to be full.
+ (json-bool, optional, defaults to false)
+
+Example:
+1. Set a new trace-file:
+-> { "execute": "set-trace-file", "arguments": { "filename": "ABC",
+ "enable":true } }
+<- { "return": {} }
+
+2. Flush the current traces to file:
+-> { "execute": "set-trace-file", "arguments": { "flush": true } }
+
+Notes:
+
+(1) The 'query-trace-file' command should be used to check active trace-file.
