[PATCH v2 0/5] libtraceevent: Copy parsing functions from trace-cmd

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>


Currently, trace-cmd does the work of parsing kallsyms, saved_cmdlines,
and printk_formats and feeding it to the libtraceevent tep handle. When
starting to write code snippets that work directly with libtracefs and
libtraceevent, I found that I need this functionality as well. But this
code doesn't need libtracecmd. As these files exist in /proc and in the
tracefs directly, just like we have events and headers that get parsed
by libtraceevent, add this functionality directly to libtraceevent, as
libtraceevent is made to parse files for processing of events, and all
of the above do exactly that.

Changes since version 1:

 - Make this a patch series.
 - Updated gitignore to ignore created files. The documentation
   directory become impossible to examine with git status.
 - Move all the man pages into libtraceevent-parse-files.txt as it
   become obvious after writing the man page for
   tep_parse_printk_formats(), that they should all be grouped together.
