Overview

An application that illustrates Distributed Tracing with custom instrumentation.

This application simulates simple inter-process communication between a calling and a called process.

Invoked without arguments, the application acts as a calling process; invoked with one argument representing a payload, it acts as a called process. The calling process creates a payload, starts a called process and passes on the payload. The calling process waits until the called process is done and then terminates. Thus to start both processes, only a single invocation of the application (without any arguments) is needed.
