tep_find_common_field(3)

Usage

#include <event-parse.h>
struct tep_format_field *tep_find_common_field(struct tep_event *event, const char *name);
struct tep_format_field *tep_find_field(struct tep_event_ormat *event, const char *name);
struct tep_format_field *tep_find_any_field(struct tep_event *event, const char *name);

Overview

These functions search for a field with given name in an event. The field returned can be used to find the field content from within a data record.

The tep_find_common_field() function searches for a common field with name in the event.

The tep_find_field() function searches for an event specific field with name in the event.

The tep_find_any_field() function searches for any field with name in the event.

Return value

The tep_find_common_field(), tep_find_field() and _tep_find_any_field() functions return a pointer to the found field, or NULL in case there is no field with the requested name.

Examples

#include <event-parse.h>
...
void get_htimer_info(struct tep_handle *tep, struct tep_record *record)
{
        struct tep_format_field *field;
        struct tep_event *event;
        long long softexpires;
        int mode;
        int pid;
        event = tep_find_event_by_name(tep, "timer", "hrtimer_start");
        field = tep_find_common_field(event, "common_pid");
        if (field == NULL) {
                /* Cannot find "common_pid" field in the event */
        } else {
                /* Get pid from the data record */
                pid = tep_read_number(tep, record->data + field->offset,
                                      field->size);
        }
        field = tep_find_field(event, "softexpires");
        if (field == NULL) {
                /* Cannot find "softexpires" event specific field in the event */
        } else {
                /* Get softexpires parameter from the data record */
                softexpires = tep_read_number(tep, record->data + field->offset,
                                              field->size);
        }
        field = tep_find_any_field(event, "mode");
        if (field == NULL) {
                /* Cannot find "mode" field in the event */
        } else
        {
                /* Get mode parameter from the data record */
                mode = tep_read_number(tep, record->data + field->offset,
                                       field->size);
        }
