NAME
----
tep_find_event,tep_find_event_by_name,tep_find_event_by_record -
Find events by given key.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
--
*#include <event-parse.h>*
struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_find_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _id_);
struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_find_event_by_name*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_sys_, const char pass:[*]_name_);
struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_find_event_by_record*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, struct tep_record pass:[*]_record_);

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This set of functions can be used to search for an event, based on a given
criteria. All functions require a pointer to a _tep_, trace event parser
context.
The _tep_find_event()_ function searches for an event by given event _id_. The
event ID is assigned dynamically and can be viewed in event's format file,
"ID" field.
The tep_find_event_by_name()_ function searches for an event by given
event _name_, under the system _sys_. If the _sys_ is NULL (not specified),
the first event with _name_ is returned.
The tep_find_event_by_record()_ function searches for an event from a given
_record_.
RETURN VALUE
------------
All these functions return a pointer to the found event, or NULL if there is no
such event.
EXAMPLE
-------
[source,c]
--
#include <event-parse.h>
...
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
struct tep_event *event;
event = tep_find_event(tep, 1857);
if (event == NULL) {
/* There is no event with ID 1857 */
}
event = tep_find_event_by_name(tep, "kvm", "kvm_exit");
if (event == NULL) {
/* There is no kvm_exit event, from kvm system */
}
void event_from_record(struct tep_record *record)
{
struct tep_event *event = tep_find_event_by_record(tep, record);
if (event == NULL) {
/* There is no event from given record */
}
}
