DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
These functions can be used to handle the mapping between pid and process name.
|
||||
The library builds a cache of these mappings, which is used to display the name
|
||||
of the process, instead of its pid. This information can be retrieved from
|
||||
tracefs/saved_cmdlines file.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_register_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping.
|
||||
If a command with the same _pid_ is already registered, an error is returned.
|
||||
The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_ argument is the process name,
|
||||
_tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is duplicated internally.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_override_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping.
|
||||
If a process with the same pid is already registered, the process name string is
|
||||
udapted with the new one. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_
|
||||
argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is
|
||||
duplicated internally.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_is_pid_registered()_ function checks if a pid has a process name
|
||||
mapping registered. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event
|
||||
context.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name for a given
|
||||
pid. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event context.
|
||||
The returned string should not be freed, but will be freed when the _tep_
|
||||
handler is closed.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pid for a given process name.
|
||||
The _comm_ argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context.
|
||||
The argument _next_ is the cmdline structure to search for the next pid.
|
||||
As there may be more than one pid for a given process, the result of this call
|
||||
can be passed back into a recurring call in the _next_ parameter, to search for
|
||||
the next pid. If _next_ is NULL, it will return the first pid associated with
|
||||
the _comm_. The function performs a linear search, so it may be slow.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_cmdline_pid()_ function returns the pid associated with a given
|
||||
_cmdline_. The _tep_ argument is the event context.
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
_tep_register_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is
|
||||
returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there
|
||||
is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_ or EEXIST if a mapping for this
|
||||
_pid_ is already registered.
|
||||
|
||||
_tep_override_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is
|
||||
returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there
|
||||
is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_.
|
||||
|
||||
_tep_is_pid_registered()_ function returns true if the _pid_ has a process name
|
||||
mapped to it, false otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
_tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name as string, or the
|
||||
string "<...>" if there is no mapping for the given pid.
|
||||
|
||||
_tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pointer to a struct cmdline, that
|
||||
holds a pid for a given process, or NULL if none is found. This result can be
|
||||
passed back into a recurring call as the _next_ parameter of the function.
|
||||
|
||||
_tep_cmdline_pid()_ functions returns the pid for the give cmdline. If _cmdline_
|
||||
is NULL, then -1 is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
EXAMPLE
|
||||
-------
|
||||
The following example registers pid for command "ls", in context of event _tep_
|
||||
and performs various searches for pid / process name mappings:
|
||||

#include <event-parse.h>
|
||||
...
|

int ret;
|

int ls_pid = 1021;
|
||||
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
|
||||
...
|
||||
ret = tep_register_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
|
||||
if (ret != 0 && errno == EEXIST)
|
||||
ret = tep_override_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
|
||||
if (ret != 0) {
|
||||
/* Failed to register pid / command mapping */
|
||||
}
|
||||
...
|
||||
if (tep_is_pid_registered(tep, ls_pid) == 0) {

/* Command mapping for ls_pid is not registered */

|

}
|

...
|

int pid;

struct cmdline *cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", NULL);

while (cmd) {

pid = tep_cmdline_pid(tep, cmd);

/* Found pid for process "ls" */

cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", cmd);

NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
tep_alloc, tep_free,tep_ref, tep_unref,tep_ref_get - Create, destroy, manage
|
||||
references of trace event parser context.
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
*#include <event-parse.h>*
|
||||
|
||||
struct tep_handle pass:[*]*tep_alloc*(void);
|
||||
void *tep_free*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
|
||||
void *tep_ref*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
|
||||
void *tep_unref*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
|

int *tep_ref_get*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
|
||||
--
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
These are the main functions to create and destroy tep_handle - the main
|
||||
structure, representing the trace event parser context. This context is used as
|
||||
the input parameter of most library APIs.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_alloc()_ function allocates and initializes the tep context.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_free()_ function will decrement the reference of the _tep_ handler.
|
||||
When there is no more references, then it will free the handler, as well
|
||||
as clean up all its resources that it had used. The argument _tep_ is
|
||||
the pointer to the trace event parser context.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_ref()_ function adds a reference to the _tep_ handler.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_unref()_ function removes a reference from the _tep_ handler. When
|
||||
the last reference is removed, the _tep_ is destroyed, and all resources that
|
||||
it had used are cleaned up.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_ref_get()_ functions gets the current references of the _tep_ handler.
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
_tep_alloc()_ returns a pointer to a newly created tep_handle structure.
|
||||
NULL is returned in case there is not enough free memory to allocate it.
|
||||
|
||||
_tep_ref_get()_ returns the current references of _tep_.
|
||||
If _tep_ is NULL, 0 is returned.

||||

-----------
|

Trace event parser context flags are defined in *enum tep_flag*:

[verse]
|
||||
--
|
||||
_TEP_NSEC_OUTPUT_ - print event's timestamp in nano seconds, instead of micro seconds.
|
||||
_TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_ - disable plugins, located in system's plugin
|
||||
directory. This directory is defined at library compile
|
||||
time, and usually depends on library installation
|
||||
prefix: (install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins
|
||||
_TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_ - disable all library plugins:
|

- in system's plugin directory
|
||||
- in directory, defined by the environment variable _TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR_
|
||||
- in user's home directory, _~/.traceevent/plugins_
|
||||
--
|
||||
Note: plugin related flags must me set before calling _tep_load_plugins()_ API.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_set_flag()_ function sets _flag_ to _tep_ context.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_clear_flag()_ function clears _flag_ from _tep_ context.
|
||||
|
||||
The _tep_test_flag()_ function tests if _flag_ is set to _tep_ context.
|
||||
|
||||
RETURN VALUE
|
||||
------------
|
||||
_tep_test_flag()_ function returns true if _flag_ is set, false otherwise.
