DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
These functions can be used to find a field and retrieve its value.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_get_any_field_val()_ function searches in the _record_ for a field
|
||||
with _name_, part of the _event_. If the field is found, its value is stored in
|
||||
_val_. If there is an error and _err_ is not zero, then an error string is
|
||||
written into _s_.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_get_common_field_val()_ function does the same as
|
||||
_tep_get_any_field_val()_, but searches only in the common fields. This works
|
||||
for any event as all events include the common fields.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_get_field_val()_ function does the same as _tep_get_any_field_val()_,
|
||||
but searches only in the event specific fields.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_get_field_raw()_ function searches in the _record_ for a field with
|
||||
_name_, part of the _event_. If the field is found, a pointer to where the field
|
||||
exists in the record's raw data is returned. The size of the data is stored in
|
||||
_len_. If there is an error and _err_ is not zero, then an error string is
|
||||
written into _s_.
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
The _tep_get_any_field_val()_, _tep_get_common_field_val()_ and
|
||||
_tep_get_field_val()_ functions return 0 on success, or -1 in case of an error.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_get_field_raw()_ function returns a pointer to field's raw data, and
|
||||
places the length of this data in _len_. In case of an error NULL is returned.

Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
|

*trace-seq.h*
|
||||
Header file to include in order to have access to trace sequences
|

related APIs. Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call

several other functions to create a string of data to use.
