NAME

tep_parse_header_page - Parses the data stored in the header page.

SYNOPSIS

#include <event-parse.h>

int tep_parse_header_page (struct tep_handle * tep , char * 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

#include <event-parse.h>
...
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
char *buf;
int size;
buf = read_file("/sys/kernel/tracing/events/header_page", &size);
if (tep_parse_header_page(tep, buf, size, sizeof(unsigned long)) != 0) {
/* Failed to parse the header page */
}
...
