The buffer +_buf_ is with _size_, and is supposed to be copied from +tracefs/events/header_page. + +Some old kernels do not have header page info, in this case the +_tep_parse_header_page()_ function can be called with _size_ equal to 0. The +_tep_ context is initialized with default values. The _long_size_ can be used in +this use case, to set the size of a long integer to be used. + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +The _tep_parse_header_page()_ function returns 0 in case of success, or -1 +in case of an error. + +EXAMPLE +------- +[source,c] +-- +#include +... +struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc(); +... +char *buf; +int size; +buf = read_file("/sys/kernel/tracing/events/header_page", &size); +if (tep_parse_header_page(tep, buf, size, sizeof(unsigned long)) != 0) { + /* Failed to parse the header page */ +} +... +-- + +FILES +----- +[verse] +-- +*event-parse.h* + Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs. +*-ltraceevent* + Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library. +-- + +SEE ALSO +-------- +_libtraceevent(3)_, _trace-cmd(1)_ + +AUTHOR +------ +[verse] +-- +*Steven Rostedt* , author of *libtraceevent*. +*Tzvetomir Stoyanov* , author of this man page. +-- +REPORTING BUGS +-------------- +Report bugs to + +LICENSE +------- +libtraceevent is Free Software licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 + +RESOURCES +--------- +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git -- 2.30.2
