-NAME
-----
-tep_print_event - Writes event information into a trace sequence.
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
---
-*#include <event-parse.h>*
-*#include <trace-seq.h>*
-
-void *tep_print_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, struct trace_seqpass:[*]_s_, struct tep_record pass:[*]_record_, const char pass:[*]_fmt_, _..._)

-DESCRIPTION
------------
-
-The _tep_print_event()_ function parses the event information of the given
-_record_ and writes it into the trace sequence _s_, according to the format
-string _fmt_. The desired information is specified after the format string.
-The _fmt_ is printf-like format string, following arguments are supported:
-[verse]
---
- TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d" - PID of the event.
- TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d" - Event CPU.
- TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - Event command string.
- TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - Event name.
- TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - Latency of the event. It prints 4 or more
- fields - interrupt state, scheduling state,
- current context, and preemption count.
- Field 1 is the interrupt enabled state:
- d : Interrupts are disabled
- . : Interrupts are enabled
- X : The architecture does not support this
- information
- Field 2 is the "need resched" state.
- N : The task is set to call the scheduler when
- possible, as another higher priority task
- may need to be scheduled in.
- . : The task is not set to call the scheduler.
- Field 3 is the context state.
- . : Normal context
- s : Soft interrupt context
- h : Hard interrupt context
- H : Hard interrupt context which triggered
- during soft interrupt context.
- z : NMI context
- Z : NMI context which triggered during hard
- interrupt context
- Field 4 is the preemption count.
- . : The preempt count is zero.
- On preemptible kernels (where the task can be scheduled
- out in arbitrary locations while in kernel context), the
- preempt count, when non zero, will prevent the kernel
- from scheduling out the current task. The preempt count
- number is displayed when it is not zero.
- Depending on the kernel, it may show other fields
- (lock depth, or migration disabled, which are unique to
- specialized kernels).
- TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp. A divisor and precision can be
- specified as part of this format string:
- "%precision.divisord". Example:
- "%3.1000d" - divide the time by 1000 and print the first
- 3 digits before the dot. Thus, the time stamp
- "123456000" will be printed as "123.456"
- TEP_PRINT_INFO, "%s" - event information.
- TEP_PRINT_INFO_RAW, "%s" - event information, in raw format.

-EXAMPLE
--------
-[source,c]
---
-#include <event-parse.h>
-#include <trace-seq.h>
-...
-struct trace_seq seq;
-trace_seq_init(&seq);
-struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
-...
-void print_my_event(struct tep_record *record)
-{
- trace_seq_reset(&seq);
- tep_print_event(tep, s, record, "%16s-%-5d [%03d] %s %6.1000d %s %s",
- TEP_PRINT_COMM, TEP_PRINT_PID, TEP_PRINT_CPU,
- TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, TEP_PRINT_TIME, TEP_PRINT_NAME,
- TEP_PRINT_INFO);
