tep_register_event_handler, tep_unregister_event_handler - Register /
unregisters a callback function to parse an event information.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
--
*#include <event-parse.h>*
enum *tep_reg_handler* {
_TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_,
_TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE_,
};
int *tep_register_event_handler*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _id_, const char pass:[*]_sys_name_, const char pass:[*]_event_name_, tep_event_handler_func _func_, void pass:[*]_context_);
int *tep_unregister_event_handler*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]tep, int id, const char pass:[*]sys_name, const char pass:[*]event_name, tep_event_handler_func func, void pass:[*]_context_);
typedef int (*pass:[*]tep_event_handler_func*)(struct trace_seq pass:[*]s, struct tep_record pass:[*]record, struct tep_event pass:[*]event, void pass:[*]context);

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The _tep_register_event_handler()_ function registers a handler function,
which is going to be called to parse the information for a given event.
The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context. The _id_ argument is
the id of the event. The _sys_name_ argument is the name of the system,
the event belongs to. The _event_name_ argument is the name of the event.
If _id_ is >= 0, it is used to find the event, otherwise _sys_name_ and
_event_name_ are used. The _func_ is a pointer to the function, which is going
to be called to parse the event information. The _context_ argument is a pointer
to the context data, which will be passed to the _func_. If a handler function
for the same event is already registered, it will be overridden with the new
one. This mechanism allows a developer to override the parsing of a given event.
If for some reason the default print format is not sufficient, the developer
can register a function for an event to be used to parse the data instead.
The _tep_unregister_event_handler()_ function unregisters the handler function,
previously registered with _tep_register_event_handler()_. The _tep_ argument
is the trace event parser context. The _id_, _sys_name_, _event_name_, _func_,
and _context_ are the same arguments, as when the callback function _func_ was
registered.
The _tep_event_handler_func_ is the type of the custom event handler
function. The _s_ argument is the trace sequence, it can be used to create a
custom string, describing the event. A _record_ to get the event from is passed
as input parameter and also the _event_ - the handle to the record's event. The
_context_ is custom context, set when the custom event handler is registered.
RETURN VALUE
------------
The _tep_register_event_handler()_ function returns _TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_
if the new handler is registered successfully or
_TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE_ if an existing handler is overwritten.
If there is not enough memory to complete the registration,
TEP_ERRNO__MEM_ALLOC_FAILED is returned.
The _tep_unregister_event_handler()_ function returns 0 if _func_ was removed
successful or, -1 if the event was not found.
The _tep_event_handler_func_ should return -1 in case of an error,
or 0 otherwise.
