NAME
----
tep_get_event, tep_get_first_event, tep_get_events_count - Access events.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
--
*#include <event-parse.h>*
struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_get_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _index_);
struct tep_event pass:[*]*tep_get_first_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
int *tep_get_events_count*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_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
-------
[source,c]
--
#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);
}
