SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <event-parse.h>
       #include <trace-seq.h>

       void tep_print_field_content(struct trace_seq *s, void *data, int size, struct tep_format_field *field);
       void tep_print_fields(struct trace_seq *s, void *data, int size, struct tep_event *event);
       int tep_print_num_field(struct trace_seq *s, const char *fmt, struct tep_event *event, const char *name, struct tep_record *record, int err);
       int tep_print_func_field(struct trace_seq *s, const char *fmt, struct tep_event *event, const char *name, struct tep_record *record, int err);
       void tep_record_print_fields(struct trace_seq *s, struct tep_record *record, struct tep_event *event);
       void tep_record_print_selected_fields(struct trace_seq *s, struct tep_record *record, struct tep_event *event, int select_mask);

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions print recorded field’s data, according to the
       field’s type.

       The tep_print_field_content() 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:

           "field1_name=field1_value field2_name=field2_value ..."

       It iterates all fields of the event, and calls
       tep_print_field_content() 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.

       The tep_record_print_fields() prints the field’s name followed by
       its value for all record’s field.

       The tep_record_print_selected_fields() prints the field’s name
       followed by its value for selected subset of record field. The
       fields to be printed are defined by the select_mask bit mask.

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.
