NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
tep_load_plugins, tep_unload_plugins - Load / unload traceevent plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
*#include <event-parse.h>*
|
||||
|
||||
struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]*tep_load_plugins*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
|
||||
void *tep_unload_plugins*(struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]_plugin_list_, struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
|

||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
The _tep_load_plugins()_ function loads all plugins, located in the plugin
|
||||
directories. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
|
||||
The plugin directories are :
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
- System's plugin directory, defined at the library compile time. It
|
||||
depends on the library installation prefix and usually is
|
||||
_(install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins_
|
||||
- Directory, defined by the environment variable _TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR_
|
||||
- User's plugin directory, located at _~/.local/lib/traceevent/plugins_
|
||||
--
|
||||
Loading of plugins can be controlled by the _tep_flags_, using the
|
||||
_tep_set_flag()_ API:
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
_TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_ - do not load plugins, located in
|
||||
the system's plugin directory.
|
||||
_TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_ - do not load any plugins.
|
||||
--
|
||||
The _tep_set_flag()_ API needs to be called before _tep_load_plugins()_, if
|
||||
loading of all plugins is not the desired case.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_unload_plugins()_ function unloads the plugins, previously loaded by
|
||||
_tep_load_plugins()_. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The
|
||||
_plugin_list_ is the list of loaded plugins, returned by
|
||||
the _tep_load_plugins()_ function.
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
The _tep_load_plugins()_ function returns a list of successfully loaded plugins,
|
||||
or NULL in case no plugins are loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
