tep_register_event_handler, tep_unregister_event_handler -
Register / unregisters a callback function to parse an event
information.
#include <event-parse.h>
enum tep_reg_handler {
TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS,
TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE,
};
int tep_register_event_handler(struct tep_handle *tep, int id, const char *sys_name, const char *event_name, tep_event_handler_func func, void *context);
int tep_unregister_event_handler(struct tep_handle *tep, int id, const char *sys_name, const char *event_name, tep_event_handler_func func, void *context);
typedef int (*tep_event_handler_func)(struct trace_seq *s, struct tep_record *record, struct tep_event *event, void *context);
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.
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.

event-parse.h
Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
trace-seq.h
Header file to include in order to have access to trace sequences
related APIs. Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call
several other functions to create a string of data to use.
-ltraceevent
Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.
