The _tep_ argument is +the trace event parser context. The created event structure is stored in the +_tep_ context. The _buf_ argument is a buffer with _size_, where the event +format data is. The event format data can be taken from +tracefs/events/.../.../format files. The _sys_ argument is the system of +the event. + +The _tep_parse_format()_ function does the same as _tep_parse_event()_. The only +difference is in the extra _eventp_ argument, where the newly created event +structure is returned. + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +Both _tep_parse_event()_ and _tep_parse_format()_ functions return 0 on success, +or TEP_ERRNO__... in case of an error. + +EXAMPLE +------- +[source,c] +-- +#include +... +struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc(); +... +char *buf; +int size; +struct tep_event *event = NULL; +buf = read_file("/sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/print/format", &size); +if (tep_parse_event(tep, buf, size, "ftrace") != 0) { + /* Failed to parse the ftrace print format */ +} + +if (tep_parse_format(tep, &event, buf, size, "ftrace") != 0) { + /* Failed to parse the ftrace print format */ +} +... +-- + +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* , author of *libtraceevent*. +*Tzvetomir Stoyanov* , author of this man page. +-- +REPORTING BUGS +-------------- +Report bugs to + +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 -- 2.20.1
