The last element of the array is NULL. +The returned memory must not be freed, it is managed by the library. +The function is not thread safe. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser +context.

The returned array must not be freed, +it is managed by the library. + +The _tep_list_events_copy()_ function returns an array of pointers to events. +In case of an error, NULL is returned.
