NAME         top

       tep_parse_event, tep_parse_format - Parse the event format
       information

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <event-parse.h>

       enum tep_errno tep_parse_event(struct tep_handle *tep, const char *buf, unsigned long size, const char *sys);
       enum tep_errno tep_parse_format(struct tep_handle *tep, struct tep_event **eventp, const char *buf, unsigned long size, const char *sys);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The tep_parse_event() function parses the event format and
       creates an event structure to quickly parse raw data for a given
       event. The tep argument is the trace event parser context. The
       created event structure is stored in the tep context. The buf
       argument is a buffer with size, where the event format data is.
       The event format data can be taken from
       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         top

       Both tep_parse_event() and tep_parse_format() functions return 0
       on success, or TEP_ERRNO__... in case of an error.

EXAMPLE         top

           #include <event-parse.h>
           ...
           struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
           ...
           char *buf;
           int size;
           struct tep_event *event = NULL;
           buf = read_file("/sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/print/format", &size);
           if (tep_parse_event(tep, buf, size, "ftrace") != 0) {
                   /* Failed to parse the ftrace print format */
           }

           if (tep_parse_format(tep, &event, buf, size, "ftrace") != 0) {
                   /* Failed to parse the ftrace print format */
           }
           ...
