+// TraceConfigFile is a singleton that contains the configurations of tracing.
+// One can create a trace config file and use it to configure startup and/or
+// shutdown tracing.
+//
+// The trace config file should be JSON formated. One example is:
+//   {
+//     "trace_config": {
+//        "record_mode": "record-until-full",
+//        "included_categories": ["cc", "skia"]
+//      },
+//      "startup_duration": 5,
+//      "result_file": "chrometrace.log"
+//   }
+//
+// trace_config:     The configuration of tracing. Please see the details in
+//                   base/trace_event/trace_config.h.
+//
+// startup_duration: The duration for startup tracing in terms of seconds.
+//                   Tracing will stop automatically after the duration. If this
+//                   value is not specified, the duration is 0 and one needs
+//                   to stop tracing by other ways, e.g., by DevTools, or get
+//                   the result file after shutting the browser down.
+//
+// result_file:      The file that contains the trace log. The default result
+//                   file path is chrometrace.log. Chrome will dump the trace
+//                   log to this file
+//                   1) after startup_duration if it is specified;
+//                   2) or after browser shutdown if startup duration is 0.
+//                   One can also stop tracing and get the result by other ways,
+//                   e.g., by DevTools. In that case, the trace log will not be
+//                   saved to this file.
+//                   Notice: This is not supported on Android. The result file
+//                   path will be generated by tracing controller.
+//
+// The trace config file can be specified by the --trace-config-file flag on
+// most platforms except on Android, e.g., --trace-config-file=path/to/file/.
+// This flag should not be used with --trace-startup or --trace-shutdown. If
+// those two flags are used, --trace-config-file flag will be ignored. If the
+// --trace-config-file flag is used without the file path, Chrome will do
+// startup tracing with 5 seconds' startup duration.
+//
+// On Android, Chrome does not read the --trace-config-file flag, because not
+// all Chrome based browsers read customized flag, e.g., Android WebView. Chrome
+// on Android reads from a fixed file location:
+//   /data/local/chrome-trace-config.json
+// If this file exists, Chrome will start tracing according to the configuration
+// specified in the file, otherwise, Chrome will not start tracing.
