+NAME

+tep_register_comm, tep_override_comm, tep_pid_is_registered,
+tep_data_comm_from_pid, tep_data_pid_from_comm, tep_cmdline_pid -
+Manage pid to process name mappings.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_register_comm*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_comm_, int _pid_);
+int *tep_override_comm*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_comm_, int _pid_);
+bool *tep_is_pid_registered*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _pid_);
+const char pass:[*]*tep_data_comm_from_pid*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_pevent_, int _pid_);
+struct cmdline pass:[*]*tep_data_pid_from_comm*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_pevent_, const char pass:[*]_comm_, struct cmdline pass:[*]_next_);
+int *tep_cmdline_pid*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_pevent_, struct cmdline pass:[*]_cmdline_);
+--
+
+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. This result can be
+passed back into a recurring call as the _next_ parameter of the function.
+
+_tep_cmdline_pid()_ functions returns the pid for the give cmdline. If _cmdline_
+ is NULL, then -1 is returned.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+The following example registers pid for command "ls", in context of event _tep_
+and performs various searches for pid / process name mappings:
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+int ret;
+int ls_pid = 1021;
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+	ret = tep_register_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
+	if (ret != 0 && errno == EEXIST)
+		ret = tep_override_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
+	if (ret != 0) {
+		/* Failed to register pid / command mapping */
+	}
+...
+	if (tep_is_pid_registered(tep, ls_pid) == 0) {
+		/* Command mapping for ls_pid is not registered */
+	}
+...
+	const char *comm = tep_data_comm_from_pid(tep, ls_pid);
+	if (comm) {
+		/* Found process name for ls_pid */
+	}
+...
+	int pid;
+	struct cmdline *cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", NULL);
+	while (cmd) {
+		pid = tep_cmdline_pid(tep, cmd);
+		/* Found pid for process "ls" */
+		cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", cmd);

+tep_find_event,tep_find_event_by_name,tep_find_event_by_record -
+Find events by given key.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_find_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _id_);
+struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_find_event_by_name*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_sys_, const char pass:[*]_name_);
+struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_find_event_by_record*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, struct tep_record pass:[*]_record_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This set of functions can be used to search for an event, based on a given
+criteria. All functions require a pointer to a _tep_, trace event parser
+context.
+
+The _tep_find_event()_ function searches for an event by given event _id_. The
+event ID is assigned dynamically and can be viewed in event's format file,
+"ID" field.
+
+The tep_find_event_by_name()_ function searches for an event by given
+event _name_, under the system _sys_. If the _sys_ is NULL (not specified),
+the first event with _name_ is returned.
+
+The tep_find_event_by_record()_ function searches for an event from a given
+_record_.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+All these functions return a pointer to the found event, or NULL if there is no
+such event.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+struct tep_event *event;
+
+event = tep_find_event(tep, 1857);
+if (event == NULL) {
+	/* There is no event with ID 1857 */
+}
+
+event = tep_find_event_by_name(tep, "kvm", "kvm_exit");
+if (event == NULL) {
+	/* There is no kvm_exit event, from kvm system */
+}

+libtraceevent(3)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+tep_get_event, tep_get_first_event, tep_get_events_count - Access events.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_get_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _index_);
+struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_get_first_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+int *tep_get_events_count*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_get_event()_ function returns a pointer to event at the given _index_.
+The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context, the _index_ is the index of
+the requested event.
+
+The _tep_get_first_event()_ function returns a pointer to the first event.
+As events are stored in an array, this function returns the pointer to the
+beginning of the array. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_get_events_count()_ function returns the number of the events
+in the array. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_get_event()_ returns a pointer to the event located at _index_.
+NULL is returned in case of error, in case there are no events or _index_ is
+out of range.
+
+The _tep_get_first_event()_ returns a pointer to the first event. NULL is
+returned in case of error, or in case there are no events.
+
+The _tep_get_events_count()_ returns the number of the events. 0 is
+returned in case of error, or in case there are no events.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+int i,count = tep_get_events_count(tep);
+struct tep_event *event, *events = tep_get_first_event(tep);
+
+if (events == NULL) {
+	/* There are no events */
+} else {
+	for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
+		event = (events+i);
+		/* process events[i] */

+libtraceevent(3)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+tep_list_events, tep_list_events_copy -
+Get list of events, sorted by given criteria.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+enum *tep_event_sort_type* {
+	_TEP_EVENT_SORT_ID_,
+	_TEP_EVENT_SORT_NAME_,
+	_TEP_EVENT_SORT_SYSTEM_,
+};
+
+struct tep_event pass:[*]pass:[*]*tep_list_events*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_event_sort_type _sort_type_);
+struct tep_event pass:[*]pass:[*]*tep_list_events_copy*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_event_sort_type _sort_type_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_list_events()_ function returns an array of pointers to the events,
+sorted by the _sort_type_ criteria. 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 _sort_type_ argument is the required sort criteria:
+[verse]
+--
+	_TEP_EVENT_SORT_ID_	- sort by the event ID.
+	_TEP_EVENT_SORT_NAME_	- sort by the event (name, system, id) triplet.
+	_TEP_EVENT_SORT_SYSTEM_	- sort by the event (system, name, id) triplet.
+--
+
+The _tep_list_events_copy()_ is a thread safe version of _tep_list_events()_.
+It has the same behavior, but the returned array is allocated internally and
+must be freed by the caller. Note that the content of the array must not be
+freed (see the EXAMPLE below).
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_list_events()_ function returns an array of pointers to events.
+In case of an error, NULL is returned. 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. The returned array must be freed by
+the caller.
+
+EXAMPLE

+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();

+libtraceevent(3)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+tep_print_event - Writes event information into a trace sequence.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+*#include <trace-seq.h>*
+
+void *tep_print_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, struct trace_seqpass:[*]_s_, struct tep_record pass:[*]_record_, const char pass:[*]_fmt_, _..._)
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The _tep_print_event()_ function parses the event information of the given
+_record_ and writes it into the trace sequence _s_, according to the format
+string _fmt_. The desired information is specified after the format string.
+The _fmt_ is printf-like format string, following arguments are supported:
+[verse]
+--
+	TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d"  - PID of the event.
+	TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d"  - Event CPU.
+	TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - Event command string.
+	TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - Event name.
+	TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - Latency of the event. It prints 4 or more
+			fields - interrupt state, scheduling state,
+			current context, and preemption count.
+			Field 1 is the interrupt enabled state:
+				d : Interrupts are disabled
+				. : Interrupts are enabled
+				X : The architecture does not support this
+				    information
+			Field 2 is the "need resched" state.
+				N : The task is set to call the scheduler when
+				    possible, as another higher priority task
+				    may need to be scheduled in.
+				. : The task is not set to call the scheduler.
+			Field 3 is the context state.
+				. : Normal context
+				s : Soft interrupt context
+				h : Hard interrupt context
+				H : Hard interrupt context which triggered
+				    during soft interrupt context.
+				z : NMI context
+				Z : NMI context which triggered during hard
+				    interrupt context
+			Field 4 is the preemption count.
+				. : The preempt count is zero.
+			On preemptible kernels (where the task can be scheduled
+			out in arbitrary locations while in kernel context), the
+			preempt count, when non zero, will prevent the kernel
+			from scheduling out the current task. The preempt count
+			number is displayed when it is not zero.
+			Depending on the kernel, it may show other fields
+			(lock depth, or migration disabled, which are unique to
+			specialized kernels).
+	TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp. A divisor and precision can be
+			specified as part of this format string:
+			"%precision.divisord". Example:
+			"%3.1000d" - divide the time by 1000 and print the first
+			3 digits before the dot. Thus, the time stamp
+			"123456000" will be printed as "123.456"
+	TEP_PRINT_INFO, "%s" - event information.
+	TEP_PRINT_INFO_RAW, "%s" - event information, in raw format.
+

+EXAMPLE

+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+These functions can be used to find a field and retrieve its value.
+
+The _tep_get_any_field_val()_ function searches in the _record_ for a field
+with _name_, part of the _event_. If the field is found, its value is stored in
+_val_. If there is an error and _err_ is not zero, then an error string is
+written into _s_.
+
+The _tep_get_common_field_val()_ function does the same as
+_tep_get_any_field_val()_, but searches only in the common fields. This works
+for any event as all events include the common fields.
+
+The _tep_get_field_val()_ function does the same as _tep_get_any_field_val()_,
+but searches only in the event specific fields.
+
+The _tep_get_field_raw()_ function searches in the _record_ for a field with
+_name_, part of the _event_. If the field is found, a pointer to where the field
+exists in the record's raw data is returned. The size of the data is stored in
+_len_. If there is an error and _err_ is not zero, then an error string is
+written into _s_.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_get_any_field_val()_, _tep_get_common_field_val()_ and
+_tep_get_field_val()_ functions return 0 on success, or -1 in case of an error.
+
+The _tep_get_field_raw()_ function returns a pointer to field's raw data, and
+places the length of this data in _len_. In case of an error NULL is returned.
+
+EXAMPLE

+tep_print_field, tep_print_fields, tep_print_num_field, tep_print_func_field -
+Print the field content.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+*#include <trace-seq.h>*
+
+void *tep_print_field*(struct trace_seq pass:[*]_s_, void pass:[*]_data_, struct tep_format_field pass:[*]_field_);
+void *tep_print_fields*(struct trace_seq pass:[*]_s_, void pass:[*]_data_, int _size_, struct tep_event pass:[*]_event_);
+int *tep_print_num_field*(struct trace_seq pass:[*]_s_, const char pass:[*]_fmt_, struct tep_event pass:[*]_event_, const char pass:[*]_name_, struct tep_record pass:[*]_record_, int _err_);

+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+These functions print recorded field's data, according to the field's type.
+
+The _tep_print_field()_ function extracts from the recorded raw _data_ value of
+the _field_ and prints it into _s_, according to the field type.
+
+The _tep_print_fields()_ prints each field name followed by the record's field
+value according to the field's type:
+[verse]
+--
+"field1_name=field1_value field2_name=field2_value ..."
+--
+It iterates all fields of the _event_, and calls _tep_print_field()_ for each of
+them.
+
+The _tep_print_num_field()_ function prints a numeric field with given format
+string. A search is performed in the _event_ for a field with _name_. If such
+field is found, its value is extracted from the _record_ and is printed in the
+_s_, according to the given format string _fmt_. If the argument _err_ is
+non-zero, and an error occures - it is printed in the _s_.
+
+The _tep_print_func_field()_ function prints a function field with given format
+string.  A search is performed in the _event_ for a field with _name_. If such
+field is found, its value is extracted from the _record_. The value is assumed
+to be a function address, and a search is perform to find the name of this
+function. The function name (if found) and its address are printed in the _s_,
+according to the given format string _fmt_. If the argument _err_ is non-zero,
+and an error occures - it is printed in _s_.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_print_num_field()_ and _tep_print_func_field()_ functions return 1
+on success, -1 in case of an error or 0 if the print buffer _s_ is full.

+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Filters can be attached to traced events. They can be used to filter out various
+events when outputting them. Each event can be filtered based on its parameters,
+described in the event's format file. This set of functions can be used to
+create, delete, modify and attach event filters.
+
+The _tep_filter_alloc()_ function creates a new event filter. The _tep_ argument
+is the trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_filter_free()_ function frees an event filter and all resources that it
+had used.
+
+The _tep_filter_reset()_ function removes all rules from an event filter and
+resets it.
+
+The _tep_filter_add_filter_str()_ function adds a new rule to the _filter_. The
+_filter_str_ argument is the filter string, that contains the rule.
+
+The _tep_event_filtered()_ function checks if the event with _event_id_ has
+_filter_.
+
+The _tep_filter_remove_event()_ function removes a _filter_ for an event with
+_event_id_.
+
+The _tep_filter_match()_ function tests if a _record_ matches given _filter_.
+
+The _tep_filter_copy()_ function copies a _source_ filter into a _dest_ filter.
+
+The _tep_filter_compare()_ function compares two filers - _filter1_ and _filter2_.
+
+The _tep_filter_make_string()_ function constructs a string, displaying
+the _filter_ contents for given _event_id_.
+
+The _tep_filter_strerror()_ function copies the _filter_ error buffer into the
+given _buf_ with the size _buflen_. If the error buffer is empty, in the _buf_
+is copied a string, describing the error _err_.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_filter_alloc()_ function returns a pointer to the newly created event
+filter, or NULL in case of an error.
+
+The _tep_filter_add_filter_str()_ function returns 0 if the rule was
+successfully added or a negative error code.  Use _tep_filter_strerror()_ to see
+actual error message in case of an error.
+
+The _tep_event_filtered()_ function returns 1 if the filter is found for given
+event, or 0 otherwise.
+
+The _tep_filter_remove_event()_ function returns 1 if the vent was removed, or
+0 if the event was not found.
+
+The _tep_filter_match()_ function returns _tep_errno_, according to the result:
+[verse]
+--
+_pass:[TEP_ERRNO__FILTER_MATCH]_	- filter found for event, the record matches.
+_pass:[TEP_ERRNO__FILTER_MISS]_		- filter found for event, the record does not match.
+_pass:[TEP_ERRNO__FILTER_NOT_FOUND]_	- no filter found for record's event.
+_pass:[TEP_ERRNO__NO_FILTER]_		- no rules in the filter.
+--
+or any other _tep_errno_, if an error occurred during the test.
+
+The _tep_filter_copy()_ function returns 0 on success or -1 if not all rules
+ were copied.
+
+The _tep_filter_compare()_ function returns 1 if the two filters hold the same
+content, or 0 if they do not.
+
+The _tep_filter_make_string()_ function returns a string, which must be freed
+with free(), or NULL in case of an error.
+
+The _tep_filter_strerror()_ function returns 0 if message was filled
+successfully, or -1 in case of an error.

+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Some tools may have already a way to resolve the kernel functions. These APIs
+allow them to keep using it instead of duplicating all the entries inside.
+
+The _tep_func_resolver_t_ type is the prototype of the alternative kernel
+functions resolver. This function receives a pointer to its custom context
+(set with the _tep_set_function_resolver()_ call ) and the address of a kernel
+function, which has to be resolved. In case of success, it should return
+the name of the function and its module (if any) in _modp_.
+
+The _tep_set_function_resolver()_ function registers _func_ as an alternative
+kernel functions resolver. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+The _priv_ argument is a custom context of the _func_ function. The function
+resolver is used by the APIs _tep_find_function()_,
+_tep_find_function_address()_, and _tep_print_func_field()_ to resolve
+a function address to a function name.
+
+The _tep_reset_function_resolver()_ function resets the kernel functions
+resolver to the default function.  The _tep_ argument is trace event parser
+context.
+
+
+These APIs can be used to find function name and start address, by given
+address. The given address does not have to be exact, it will select
+the function that would contain it.
+
+The _tep_find_function()_ function returns the function name, which contains the
+given address _addr_. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_find_function_address()_ function returns the function start address,
+by given address _addr_. The _addr_ does not have to be exact, it will select
+the function that would contain it. The _tep_ argument is the trace event
+parser context.
+
+The _tep_register_function()_ function registers a function name mapped to an
+address and (optional) module. This mapping is used in case the function tracer
+or events have "%pS" parameter in its format string. It is common to pass in
+the kallsyms function names with their corresponding addresses with this
+function. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context. The _name_ is
+the name of the function, the string is copied internally. The _addr_ is the
+start address of the function. The _mod_ is the kernel module the function may
+be in (NULL for none).
+
+The _tep_register_print_string()_ function  registers a string by the address
+it was stored in the kernel. Some strings internal to the kernel with static
+address are passed to certain events. The "%s" in the event's format field
+which has an address needs to know what string would be at that address. The
+tep_register_print_string() supplies the parsing with the mapping between kernel
+addresses and those strings. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser
+context. The _fmt_ is the string to register, it is copied internally.
+The _addr_ is the address the string was located at.
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_set_function_resolver()_ function returns 0 in case of success, or -1
+in case of an error.
+
+The _tep_find_function()_ function returns the function name, or NULL in case
+it cannot be found.
+
+The _tep_find_function_address()_ function returns the function start address,
+or 0 in case it cannot be found.
+
+The _tep_register_function()_ function returns 0 in case of success. In case of
+an error -1 is returned, and errno is set to the appropriate error number.
+
+The _tep_register_print_string()_ function returns 0 in case of success. In case
+of an error -1 is returned, and errno is set to the appropriate error number.

+================
+
+NAME
+----
+tep_alloc, tep_free,tep_ref, tep_unref,tep_get_ref - Create, destroy, manage
+references of trace event parser context.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+struct tep_handle pass:[*]*tep_alloc*(void);
+void *tep_free*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_ref*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_unref*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+int *tep_get_ref*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+These are the main functions to create and destroy tep_handle - the main
+structure, representing the trace event parser context. This context is used as
+the input parameter of most library APIs.
+
+The _tep_alloc()_ function allocates and initializes the tep context.
+
+The _tep_free()_ function will decrement the reference of the _tep_ handler.
+When there is no more references, then it will free the handler, as well
+as clean up all its resources that it had used. The argument _tep_ is
+the pointer to the trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_ref()_ function adds a reference to the _tep_ handler.
+
+The _tep_unref()_ function removes a reference from the _tep_ handler. When
+the last reference is removed, the _tep_ is destroyed, and all resources that
+it had used are cleaned up.
+
+The _tep_ref_get()_ functions gets the current references of the _tep_ handler.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+_tep_alloc()_ returns a pointer to a newly created tep_handle structure.
+NULL is returned in case there is not enough free memory to allocate it.
+
+_tep_ref_get()_ returns the current references of _tep_.
+If _tep_ is NULL, 0 is returned.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+int ref = tep_get_ref(tep);
+tep_ref(tep);
+if ( (ref+1) != tep_get_ref(tep)) {
+	/* Something wrong happened, the counter is not incremented by 1 */
+}

+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_get_header_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+int *tep_get_header_timestamp_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+bool *tep_is_old_format*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+--
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+These functions retrieve information from kernel context, stored in tracefs
+events/header_page. Old kernels do not have header page info, so default values
+from user space context are used.
+
+The _tep_get_header_page_size()_ function returns the size of a long integer,
+in kernel context. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+This information is retrieved from tracefs events/header_page, "commit" field.
+
+The _tep_get_header_timestamp_size()_ function returns the size of timestamps,
+in kernel context. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. This
+information is retrieved from tracefs events/header_page, "timestamp" field.
+
+The _tep_is_old_format()_ function returns true if the kernel predates
+the addition of events/header_page, otherwise it returns false.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_get_header_page_size()_ function returns the size of a long integer,
+in bytes.
+
+The _tep_get_header_timestamp_size()_ function returns the size of timestamps,
+in bytes.
+
+The _tep_is_old_format()_ function returns true, if an old kernel is used to
+generate the tracing data, which has no event/header_page. If the kernel is new,
+or _tep_ is NULL, false is returned.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+	int longsize;
+	int timesize;
+	bool old;
+
+	longsize = tep_get_header_page_size(tep);
+	timesize = tep_get_header_timestamp_size(tep);
+	old = tep_is_old_format(tep);
+
+	printf ("%s kernel is used to generate the tracing data.\n",

+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The _tep_is_bigendian()_ gets the endianness of the machine, executing
+the function.
+
+The _tep_is_local_bigendian()_ function gets the endianness of the local
+machine, saved in the _tep_ handler. The _tep_ argument is the trace event
+parser context. This API is a bit faster than _tep_is_bigendian()_, as it
+returns cached endianness of the local machine instead of checking it each time.
+
+The _tep_set_local_bigendian()_ function sets the endianness of the local
+machine in the _tep_ handler. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+The _endian_ argument is the endianness:
+[verse]
+--
+	_TEP_LITTLE_ENDIAN_ - the machine is little endian,
+	_TEP_BIG_ENDIAN_ - the machine is big endian.
+--
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_is_bigendian()_ function returns non zero if the endianness of the
+machine, executing the code, is big endian and zero otherwise.
+
+The _tep_is_local_bigendian()_ function returns true, if the endianness of the
+local machine, saved in the _tep_ handler, is big endian, or false otherwise.

+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.

+tep_parse_header_page - Parses the data stored in the header page.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_parse_header_page*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, char pass:[*]_buf_, unsigned long _size_, int _long_size_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_parse_header_page()_ function parses the header page data from _buf_,
+and initializes the _tep_, trace event parser context, with it. The buffer
+_buf_ is with _size_, and is supposed to be copied from
+tracefs/events/header_page.
+
+Some old kernels do not have header page info, in this case the
+_tep_parse_header_page()_ function  can be called with _size_ equal to 0. The
+_tep_ context is initialized with default values. The _long_size_ can be used in
+this use case, to set the size of a long integer to be used.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_parse_header_page()_ function returns 0 in case of success, or -1
+in case of an error.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+char *buf;
+int size;

+NAME
+----
+tep_load_plugins, tep_unload_plugins - Load / unload traceevent plugins.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]*tep_load_plugins*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_unload_plugins*(struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]_plugin_list_, struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_load_plugins()_ function loads all plugins, located in the plugin
+directories. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+The plugin directories are :
+[verse]
+--
+	- System's plugin directory, defined at the library compile time. It
+	  depends on the library installation prefix and usually is
+	  _(install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins_
+	- Directory, defined by the environment variable _TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR_
+	- User's plugin directory, located at _~/.local/lib/traceevent/plugins_
+--
+Loading of plugins can be controlled by the _tep_flags_, using the
+_tep_set_flag()_ API:
+[verse]
+--
+	_TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_	- do not load plugins, located in
+					the system's plugin directory.
+	_TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_		- do not load any plugins.
+--
+The _tep_set_flag()_ API needs to be called before _tep_load_plugins()_, if
+loading of all plugins is not the desired case.
+
+The _tep_unload_plugins()_ function unloads the plugins, previously loaded by
+_tep_load_plugins()_. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The
+_plugin_list_ is the list of loaded plugins, returned by
+the _tep_load_plugins()_ function.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_load_plugins()_ function returns a list of successfully loaded plugins,
+or NULL in case no plugins are loaded.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+struct tep_plugin_list *plugins = tep_load_plugins(tep);

+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This set of functions can be used to extract common fields from a record.
+
+The _tep_data_type()_ function gets the event id from the record _rec_.
+It reads the "common_type" field. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser
+context.
+
+The _tep_data_pid()_ function gets the process id from the record _rec_.
+It reads the "common_pid" field. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser
+context.
+
+The _tep_data_preempt_count()_ function gets the preemption count from the
+record _rec_. It reads the "common_preempt_count" field. The _tep_ argument is
+the trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_data_flags()_ function gets the latency flags from the record _rec_.
+It reads the "common_flags" field. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser
+context. Supported latency flags are:
+[verse]
+--
+	_TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_OFF_,		Interrupts are disabled.
+	_TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT_,	Reading IRQ flag is not supported by the architecture.
+	_TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED_,	Task needs rescheduling.
+	_TRACE_FLAG_HARDIRQ_,		Hard IRQ is running.
+	_TRACE_FLAG_SOFTIRQ_,		Soft IRQ is running.
+--
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_data_type()_ function returns an integer, representing the event id.
+
+The _tep_data_pid()_ function returns an integer, representing the process id
+
+The _tep_data_preempt_count()_ function returns an integer, representing the
+preemption count.
+
+The _tep_data_flags()_ function returns an integer, representing the latency
+flags. Look at the _trace_flag_type_ enum for supported flags.
+
+All these functions in case of an error return a negative integer.
+
+EXAMPLE

+NAME

+tep_register_event_handler, tep_unregister_event_handler -  Register /
+unregisters a callback function to parse an event information.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+enum *tep_reg_handler* {
+	_TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_,
+	_TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE_,
+};

+int *tep_unregister_event_handler*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]tep, int id, const char pass:[*]sys_name, const char pass:[*]event_name, tep_event_handler_func func, void pass:[*]_context_);
+
+typedef int (*pass:[*]tep_event_handler_func*)(struct trace_seq pass:[*]s, struct tep_record pass:[*]record, struct tep_event pass:[*]event, void pass:[*]context);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_register_event_handler()_ function registers a handler function,
+which is going to be called to parse the information for a given event.
+The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context. The _id_ argument is
+the id of the event. The _sys_name_ argument is the name of the system,
+the event belongs to. The _event_name_ argument is the name of the event.
+If _id_ is >= 0, it is used to find the event, otherwise _sys_name_ and
+_event_name_ are used. The _func_ is a pointer to the function, which is going
+to be called to parse the event information. The _context_ argument is a pointer
+to the context data, which will be passed to the _func_. If a handler function
+for the same event is already registered, it will be overridden with the new
+one. This mechanism allows a developer to override the parsing of a given event.
+If for some reason the default print format is not sufficient, the developer
+can register a function for an event to be used to parse the data instead.
+
+The _tep_unregister_event_handler()_ function unregisters the handler function,
+previously registered with _tep_register_event_handler()_. The _tep_ argument
+is the trace event parser context. The _id_, _sys_name_, _event_name_, _func_,
+and _context_ are the same arguments, as when the callback function _func_ was
+registered.
+
+The _tep_event_handler_func_ is the type of the custom event handler
+function. The _s_ argument is the trace sequence, it can be used to create a
+custom string, describing the event. A _record_  to get the event from is passed
+as input parameter and also the _event_ - the handle to the record's event. The
+_context_ is custom context, set when the custom event handler is registered.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_register_event_handler()_ function returns _TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_
+if the new handler is registered successfully or
+_TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE_ if an existing handler is overwritten.
+If there is not  enough memory to complete the registration,
+TEP_ERRNO__MEM_ALLOC_FAILED is returned.
+
+The _tep_unregister_event_handler()_ function returns 0 if _func_ was removed
+successful or, -1 if the event was not found.
+
+The _tep_event_handler_func_ should return -1 in case of an error,
+or 0 otherwise.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+#include <trace-seq.h>

+int *tep_unregister_print_function*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, tep_func_handler _func_, char pass:[*]_name_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Some events may have helper functions in the print format arguments.
+This allows a plugin to dynamically create a way to process one of
+these functions.
+
+The _tep_register_print_function()_ registers such helper function. The _tep_
+argument is the trace event parser context. The _func_ argument  is a pointer
+to the helper function. The _ret_type_ argument is  the return type of the
+helper function, value from the _tep_func_arg_type_ enum. The _name_ is the name
+of the helper function, as seen in the print format arguments. The _..._ is a
+variable list of _tep_func_arg_type_ enums, the _func_ function arguments.
+This list must end with _TEP_FUNC_ARG_VOID_. See 'EXAMPLE' section.
+
+The _tep_unregister_print_function()_ unregisters a helper function, previously
+registered with _tep_register_print_function()_. The _tep_ argument is the
+trace event parser context. The _func_ and _name_ arguments are the same, used
+when the helper function was registered.
+
+The _tep_func_handler_ is the type of the helper function. The _s_ argument is
+the trace sequence, it can be used to create a custom string.
+The _args_  is a list of arguments, defined when the helper function was
+registered.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_register_print_function()_ function returns 0 in case of success.
+In case of an error, TEP_ERRNO_... code is returned.
+
+The _tep_unregister_print_function()_ returns 0 in case of success, or -1 in
+case of an error.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+Some events have internal functions calls, that appear in the print format
+output. For example "tracefs/events/i915/g4x_wm/format" has:
+[source,c]
+--
+print fmt: "pipe %c, frame=%u, scanline=%u, wm %d/%d/%d, sr %s/%d/%d/%d, hpll %s/%d/%d/%d, fbc %s",
+	    ((REC->pipe) + 'A'), REC->frame, REC->scanline, REC->primary,
+	    REC->sprite, REC->cursor, yesno(REC->cxsr), REC->sr_plane,
+	    REC->sr_cursor, REC->sr_fbc, yesno(REC->hpll), REC->hpll_plane,
+	    REC->hpll_cursor, REC->hpll_fbc, yesno(REC->fbc)
+--
+Notice the call to function _yesno()_ in the print arguments. In the kernel
+context, this function has the following implementation:
+[source,c]
+--
+static const char *yesno(int x)
+{
+	static const char *yes = "yes";
+	static const char *no = "no";
+
+	return x ? yes : no;
+}
+--
+The user space event parser has no idea how to handle this _yesno()_ function.
+The _tep_register_print_function()_ API can be used to register a user space
+helper function, mapped to the kernel's _yesno()_:
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+#include <trace-seq.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+static const char *yes_no_helper(int x)
+{
+	return x ? "yes" : "no";
+}
+...
+	if ( tep_register_print_function(tep,
+				    yes_no_helper,
+				    TEP_FUNC_ARG_STRING,
+				    "yesno",
+				    TEP_FUNC_ARG_INT,
+				    TEP_FUNC_ARG_VOID) != 0) {
+		/* Failed to register yes_no_helper function */
+	}
+
+/*
+   Now, when the event parser encounters this yesno() function, it will know
+   how to handle it.
+*/
+...
+	if (tep_unregister_print_function(tep, yes_no_helper, "yesno") != 0) {
+		/* Failed to unregister yes_no_helper function */
+	}

+libtraceevent(3)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+tep_set_flag, tep_clear_flag, tep_test_flag -
+Manage flags of trace event parser context.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+enum *tep_flag* {
+	_TEP_NSEC_OUTPUT_,
+	_TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_,
+	_TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_
+};
+void *tep_set_flag*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_flag _flag_);
+void *tep_clear_flag*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_flag _flag_);
+bool *tep_test_flag*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_flag _flag_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Trace event parser context flags are defined in *enum tep_flag*:
+[verse]
+--
+_TEP_NSEC_OUTPUT_ - print event's timestamp in nano seconds, instead of micro seconds.
+_TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_ - disable plugins, located in system's plugin
+			directory. This directory is defined at library compile
+			time, and usually depends on library installation
+			prefix: (install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins
+_TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_ - disable all library plugins:
+			- in system's plugin directory
+			- in directory, defined by the environment variable _TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR_
+			- in user's home directory, _~/.traceevent/plugins_
+--
+Note: plugin related flags must me set before calling _tep_load_plugins()_ API.
+
+The _tep_set_flag()_ function sets _flag_ to _tep_ context.
+
+The _tep_clear_flag()_ function clears _flag_ from _tep_ context.
+
+The _tep_test_flag()_ function tests if _flag_ is set to _tep_ context.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+_tep_test_flag()_ function returns true if _flag_ is set, false otherwise.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+/* Print timestamps in nanoseconds */
+tep_set_flag(tep,  TEP_NSEC_OUTPUT);
+...
+if (tep_test_flag(tep, TEP_NSEC_OUTPUT)) {
+	/* print timestamps in nanoseconds */
+} else {
+	/* print timestamps in microseconds */
+}

+libtraceevent(3)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+tep_strerror - Returns a string describing regular errno and tep error number.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_strerror*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, enum tep_errno _errnum_, char pass:[*]_buf_, size_t _buflen_);
+
+--
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_strerror()_ function converts tep error number into a human
+readable string.
+The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The _errnum_ is a regular
+errno, defined in errno.h, or a tep error number. The string, describing this
+error number is copied in the _buf_ argument. The _buflen_ argument is
+the size of the _buf_.
+
+It as a thread safe wrapper around strerror_r(). The library function has two
+different behaviors - POSIX and GNU specific. The _tep_strerror()_ API always
+behaves as the POSIX version - the error string is copied in the user supplied
+buffer.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_strerror()_ function returns 0, if a valid _errnum_ is passed and the
+string is copied into _buf_. If _errnum_ is not a valid error number,
+-1 is returned and _buf_ is not modified.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+char buf[32];
+char *pool = calloc(1, 128);
+if (tep == NULL) {
+	tep_strerror(tep, TEP_ERRNO__MEM_ALLOC_FAILED, buf, 32);
+	printf ("The pool is not initialized, %s", buf);

+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions
+to create a string of data to use.
+
+The _trace_seq_init()_ function initializes the trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_destroy()_ function destroys the trace sequence _s_ and frees
+all its resources that it had used.
+
+The _trace_seq_reset()_ function re-initializes the trace sequence _s_. All
+characters already written in _s_ will be deleted.
+
+The _trace_seq_terminate()_ function terminates the trace sequence _s_. It puts
+the null character pass:['\0'] at the end of the buffer.
+
+The _trace_seq_putc()_ function puts a single character _c_ in the trace
+sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_puts()_ function puts a NULL terminated string _str_ in the
+trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_printf()_ function puts a formated string _fmt _with
+variable arguments _..._ in the trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_vprintf()_ function puts a formated string _fmt _with
+list of arguments _args_ in the trace sequence _s_.
+
+The _trace_seq_do_printf()_ function prints the buffer of trace sequence _s_ to
+the standard output stdout.
+
+The _trace_seq_do_fprintf()_ function prints the buffer of trace sequence _s_
+to the given file _fp_.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+Both _trace_seq_putc()_ and _trace_seq_puts()_ functions return the number of
+characters put in the trace sequence, or 0 in case of an error
+
+Both _trace_seq_printf()_ and _trace_seq_vprintf()_ functions return 0 if the
+trace oversizes the buffer's free space, the number of characters printed, or
+a negative value in case of an error.
+
+Both _trace_seq_do_printf()_ and _trace_seq_do_fprintf()_ functions return the
+number of printed characters, or -1 in case of an error.
