[PATCH v3 0/3] Few patches, related to libtracevent APIs

[Tzvetomir Stoyanov]

This patchset introduces new libtracevent APIs, which can be used for
accessing struct tep_handler fields. It also changes the description
of some APIs, to match more closely their logic.
There are also fixes to coding style problems, introduced by previous patches.

[PATCH v3 1/3] tools/lib/traceevent: Change description of few APIs

[Tzvetomir Stoyanov]

APIs descriptions should describe the purpose of the
function, its parameters and return value. While working
on man pages implementation, I noticed mismatches in the
descriptions of few APIs. This patch changes the description
of these APIs, making them consistent with the man pages:
tep_print_num_field(), tep_print_func_field(),
tep_get_header_page_size(), tep_get_long_size(),
tep_set_long_size(), tep_get_page_size() and
tep_set_page_size().

[PATCH v3 3/3] tools/lib/traceevent: Implement new traceevent APIs for accessing struct tep_handler fields

[Tzvetomir Stoyanov]

As struct tep_handler definition is not exposed as part of libtraceevent API, its fields
cannot be accessed directly by the library users. This patch implements new APIs, which
can be used to access the struct tep_handler fields:

tep_get_event() - retrieves an event pointer at a specific index
tep_get_first_event() is modified to use tep_get_event()
tep_clear_flag() - clears a tep handle flag
tep_test_flag() - test if a given flag is set
tep_get_header_timestamp_size() - returns the size of the timestamp stored in the header.
tep_get_cpus() - returns the number of CPUs
tep_is_old_format() - returns true if data was created by an
                      older kernel with the old data format
tep_set_print_raw() - have the output print in the raw format
tep_set_test_filters() - debugging utility for testing tep filters

Hi Tzvetomir,

The above is very hard to read. Please list them one per line, and
write it like this:

 APIs descriptions should describe the purpose of the function, its
 parameters and return value. While working  on man pages
 implementation, I noticed mismatches in the  descriptions of few APIs.
 This patch changes the description of these APIs, making them
 consistent with the man pages:

 - tep_print_num_field()
 - tep_print_func_field()
 - tep_get_header_page_size()
 - tep_get_long_size()
 - tep_set_long_size()
 - tep_get_page_size()
 - tep_set_page_size()


It's much easier on the eyes.

I changed it for you. But next time, please start listing functions
instead of stringing them in one hard to read bundle.

Thanks!

-- Steve

This looks good, but one nit, it can be a bit more formatted ;-)

 tep_get_event()        - retrieves an event pointer at a specific index
 tep_get_first_event()  - is modified to use tep_get_event()
 tep_clear_flag()       - clears a tep handle flag
 tep_test_flag()        - test if a given flag is set
 tep_get_header_timestamp_size() - returns the size of the timestamp
                          stored in the header.
 tep_get_cpus()         - returns the number of CPUs
 tep_is_old_format()    - returns true if data was created by an
                          older kernel with the old data format
 tep_set_print_raw()    - have the output print in the raw format
 tep_set_test_filters() - debugging utility for testing tep filters

I'll update it.

I renamed this to @tep.

And this to *tep);
