+-- + +DESCRIPTION +----------- +These functions can be used to handle the mapping between pid and process name. +The library builds a cache of these mappings, which is used to display the name +of the process, instead of its pid. This information can be retrieved from +tracefs/saved_cmdlines file. + +The _tep_register_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping. +If a command with the same _pid_ is already registered, an error is returned. +The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_ argument is the process name, +_tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is duplicated internally. + +The _tep_override_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping. +If a process with the same pid is already registered, the process name string is +udapted with the new one. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_ +argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is +duplicated internally. + +The _tep_is_pid_registered()_ function checks if a pid has a process name +mapping registered. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event +context. + +The _tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name for a given +pid. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event context. +The returned string should not be freed, but will be freed when the _tep_ +handler is closed. + +The _tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pid for a given process name. +The _comm_ argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context. +The argument _next_ is the cmdline structure to search for the next pid. +As there may be more than one pid for a given process, the result of this call +can be passed back into a recurring call in the _next_ parameter, to search for +the next pid. If _next_ is NULL, it will return the first pid associated with +the _comm_. The function performs a linear search, so it may be slow. + +The _tep_cmdline_pid()_ function returns the pid associated with a given +_cmdline_. The _tep_ argument is the event context. + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +_tep_register_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is +returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there +is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_ or EEXIST if a mapping for this +_pid_ is already registered. + +_tep_override_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is +returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there +is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_. + +_tep_is_pid_registered()_ function returns true if the _pid_ has a process name +mapped to it, false otherwise. + +_tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name as string, or the +string "<...>" if there is no mapping for the given pid. + +_tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pointer to a struct cmdline, that +holds a pid for a given process, or NULL if none is found.
