+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.

+================

+NAME
+----
+tep_load_plugins, tep_unload_plugins - Load / unload traceevent plugins.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]*tep_load_plugins*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_unload_plugins*(struct tep_plugin_list pass:[*]_plugin_list_, struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_load_plugins()_ function loads all plugins, located in the plugin
+directories. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+The plugin directories are :
+[verse]
+--
+	- System's plugin directory, defined at the library compile time. It
+	  depends on the library installation prefix and usually is
+	  _(install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins_
+	- Directory, defined by the environment variable _TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR_
+	- User's plugin directory, located at _~/.local/lib/traceevent/plugins_
+--
+Loading of plugins can be controlled by the _tep_flags_, using the
+_tep_set_flag()_ API:
+[verse]
+--
+	_TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_	- do not load plugins, located in
+					the system's plugin directory.
+	_TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_		- do not load any plugins.
+--
+The _tep_set_flag()_ API needs to be called before _tep_load_plugins()_, if
+loading of all plugins is not the desired case.
+
+The _tep_unload_plugins()_ function unloads the plugins, previously loaded by
+_tep_load_plugins()_. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The
+_plugin_list_ is the list of loaded plugins, returned by
+the _tep_load_plugins()_ function.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_load_plugins()_ function returns a list of successfully loaded plugins,
+or NULL in case no plugins are loaded.
+
