[erlang-questions] erlang:trace_pattern/3 is not expected to work on ports?

[Vladimir Gordeev]

Currently trying to match received messages for ports, do the following:

  erlang:trace_pattern('receive', [MyComplexMatchSpec], []),
  erlang:trace(ports, true, [ports, timestamp, 'receive', {tracer,
self()}]),

Got all messages received by port, filtering doesn't work. Okay, tried this
one:

  erlang:trace_pattern('receive', false, []),
  erlang:trace(ports, true, [ports, timestamp, 'receive', {tracer,
self()}]),

And still got all messages, while shouldn't receive any.

So, erlang:trace_pattern/3 is not supposed to work for ports? In official
docs only processes are mentioned, but no explicit statement about ports.
