+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Functions for initializing a tep handler with trace events from the local system.
+
+The _tracefs_local_events()_ function allocates a new _tep_ handler and
+initializes it with events from all trace systems, located in the given
+_tracing_dir_ directory. This could be NULL or tracefs mount point, for
+trace events in top instance, or full path to a trace instance, for trace
+events in that instance.
+
+The _tracefs_local_events_system()_ function allocates a new _tep_ handler
+and initializes it with events from specified trace systems _sys_names_,
+located in the given _tracing_dir_ directory. This could be NULL or tracefs
+mount point, for trace events in top instance, or full path to a trace instance,
+for trace events in that instance. The _sys_names_ argument is an array of
+trace system names, that will be used for _tep_ handler initialization.
+The last element in that array must be a NULL pointer.
+
+The _tracefs_fill_local_events()_ function initializes already allocated _tep_
+handler with events from all trace systems, located in the given _tracing_dir_
+directory. This could be NULL or tracefs mount point, for trace events in
+the top instance, or full path to a trace instance, for trace events in that
+instance. The _tep_ argument must be a pointer to already allocated tep
+handler, that is going to be initialized. The _parsing_failures_ argument
+could be NULL or a pointer to an integer, where the number of failures while
+parsing the event files are returned.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tracefs_local_events()_ and _tracefs_local_events_system()_ functions
+return pointer to allocated and initialized _tep_ handler, or NULL in
+case of an error. The returned _tep_ handler must be freed with _tep_free()_.
+
+The _tracefs_fill_local_events()_ function returns -1 in case of an error or
+0 otherwise.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <tracefs.h>
+#include <event-parse.h>
+
+struct tep_event *tep;
+...
+	tep = tracefs_local_events(NULL);
+	if (!tep) {
+		/* Failed to initialise tep handler with local events from top instance */
+		...
+	}
+...
+	tep_free(tep);
+...
+	const char *systems[] = {"ftrace", "irq", NULL};
+	tep = tracefs_local_events_system(NULL, systems);
+	if (!tep) {
+		/* Failed to initialise tep handler with local events from
+		 * ftrace and irq systems in top instance.
+		 */
+		...
+	}
+...
+	tep_free(tep);
+...
+	int parsing_failures;
+	tep = tep_alloc();
+	if (!tep) {
+		/* Failed to allocate a tep handler */
+		...
+	}
+	if (tracefs_fill_local_events(NULL, tep, &parsing_failures) < 0) {
+		/* Failed to initialise tep handler with local events from top instance */
+	}
+...
+	tep_free(tep);
