All functions require a pointer to a _tep_, trace event parser +context. + +The _tep_find_event()_ function searches for an event by given event _id_. The +event ID is assigned dynamically and can be viewed in event's format file, +"ID" field. + +The tep_find_event_by_name()_ function searches for an event by given +event _name_, under the system _sys_. If the _sys_ is NULL (not specified), +the first event with _name_ is returned. + +The tep_find_event_by_record()_ function searches for an event from a given +_record_. + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +All these functions return a pointer to the found event, or NULL if there is no +such event. + +EXAMPLE +------- +[source,c] +-- +#include <event-parse.h> +... +struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc(); +... +struct tep_event *event; + +event = tep_find_event(tep, 1857); +if (event == NULL) { + /* There is no event with ID 1857 */ +} + +event = tep_find_event_by_name(tep, "kvm", "kvm_exit"); +if (event == NULL) { + /* There is no kvm_exit event, from kvm system */ +} + +void event_from_record(struct tep_record *record) +{ + struct tep_event *event = tep_find_event_by_record(tep, record); + if (event == NULL) { + /* There is no event from given record */ + } +} +... +-- + +FILES +----- +[verse] +-- +*event-parse.h* + Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs. +*-ltraceevent* + Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library. +-- + +SEE ALSO +-------- +_libtraceevent(3)_, _trace-cmd(1)_ + +AUTHOR +------ +[verse] +-- +*Steven Rostedt* <rostedt@goodmis.org>, author of *libtraceevent*. +*Tzvetomir Stoyanov* <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com>, author of this man page. +-- +REPORTING BUGS +-------------- +Report bugs to <linux-trace-devel@vger.kernel.org> + +LICENSE +------- +libtraceevent is Free Software licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 + +RESOURCES +--------- +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git |
