LIBTRACEEVENT(3)

NAME
tep_get_event, tep_get_first_event, tep_get_events_count - Access events.

SYNOPSIS

#include <event-parse.h>

struct tep_event *tep_get_event(struct tep_handle *tep, int index);
struct tep_event *tep_get_first_event(struct tep_handle *tep);
int tep_get_events_count(struct tep_handle *tep);

DESCRIPTION

The tep_get_event() function returns a pointer to event at the given index. The tep argument is trace event parser context, the index is the index of the requested event.

The tep_get_first_event() function returns a pointer to the first event. As events are stored in an array, this function returns the pointer to the beginning of the array. The tep argument is trace event parser context.

The tep_get_events_count() function returns the number of the events in the array. The tep argument is trace event parser context.

RETURN VALUE

The tep_get_event() returns a pointer to the event located at index. NULL is returned in case of error, in case there are no events or index is out of range.

The tep_get_first_event() returns a pointer to the first event. NULL is returned in case of error, or in case there are no events.

The tep_get_events_count() returns the number of the events. 0 is returned in case of error, or in case there are no events.

EXAMPLE

    #include <event-parse.h>
    ...
    struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
    ...
    int i,count = tep_get_events_count(tep);
    struct tep_event *event, *events = tep_get_first_event(tep);

    if (events == NULL) {
            /* There are no events */
    } else {
            for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                    event = (events+i);
                    /* process events[i] */
            }

            /* Get the last event */
            event = tep_get_event(tep, count-1);
    }
