NAME

tep_list_events, tep_list_events_copy -

Get list of events, sorted by given criteria.

SYNOPSIS

*#include <event-parse.h>*

DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
The _tep_list_events()_ function returns an array of pointers to the events,
|
||||
sorted by the _sort_type_ criteria. The last element of the array is NULL.
|
||||
The returned memory must not be freed, it is managed by the library.
|
||||
The function is not thread safe. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser
|
||||
context. The _sort_type_ argument is the required sort criteria:
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
_TEP_EVENT_SORT_ID_ - sort by the event ID.
|
||||
_TEP_EVENT_SORT_NAME_ - sort by the event (name, system, id) triplet.
|
||||
_TEP_EVENT_SORT_SYSTEM_ - sort by the event (system, name, id) triplet.
|
||||
--
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_list_events_copy()_ is a thread safe version of _tep_list_events()_.
|
||||
It has the same behavior, but the returned array is allocated internally and
|
||||
must be freed by the caller. Note that the content of the array must not be
|
||||
freed (see the EXAMPLE below).
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
The _tep_list_events()_ function returns an array of pointers to events.
|
||||
In case of an error, NULL is returned. The returned array must not be freed,
|
||||
it is managed by the library.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_list_events_copy()_ function returns an array of pointers to events.
|
||||
In case of an error, NULL is returned. The returned array must be freed by
|
||||
the caller.
