NAME

tep_find_event, tep_find_event_by_name, tep_find_event_by_record, tep_record_is_event - Find events by given key.

SYNOPSIS

#include <event-parse.h>

struct tep_event * tep_find_event (struct tep_handle * tep , int id );
struct tep_event * tep_find_event_by_name (struct tep_handle * tep , const char * sys , const char * name );
struct tep_event * tep_find_event_by_record (struct tep_handle * tep , struct tep_record * record );
bool tep_record_is_event (struct tep_record *record, struct tep_event *event);

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 .

The tep_record_is_event() function tests if the given record is of the type of the event . This is normally used to know if the record being processed is of an event where further processing should be done.

RETURN VALUE

All these functions except tep_record_is_event() return a pointer to the found event, or NULL if there is no such event.

EXAMPLE

#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 */
}

void event_from_record(struct tep_record *record)
{
struct tep_event *event = tep_find_event_by_record(tep, record);
if (event == NULL) {
/* There is no event from given record */
}
}
...
