-NAME
-----
-tep_parse_event, tep_parse_format - Parse the event format information
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
---
-*#include <event-parse.h>*
-
-enum tep_errno *tep_parse_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_buf_, unsigned long _size_, const char pass:[*]_sys_);
-enum tep_errno *tep_parse_format*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, struct tep_event pass:[*]pass:[*]_eventp_, const char pass:[*]_buf_, unsigned long _size_, const char pass:[*]_sys_);

-DESCRIPTION
------------
-The _tep_parse_event()_ function parses the event format and creates an event
-structure to quickly parse raw data for a given event. The _tep_ argument is
-the trace event parser context. The created event structure is stored in the
-_tep_ context. The _buf_ argument is a buffer with _size_, where the event
-format data is. The event format data can be taken from
-tracefs/events/.../.../format files. The _sys_ argument is the system of
-the event.
-
-The _tep_parse_format()_ function does the same as _tep_parse_event()_. The only
-difference is in the extra _eventp_ argument, where the newly created event
-structure is returned.
-
-RETURN VALUE
-------------
-Both _tep_parse_event()_ and _tep_parse_format()_ functions return 0 on success,
-or TEP_ERRNO__... in case of an error.
-
-EXAMPLE
--------
-[source,c]
---
-#include <event-parse.h>
-...
-struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
-...
-char *buf;
-int size;
-struct tep_event *event = NULL;
-buf = read_file("/sys/kernel/tracing/events/ftrace/print/format", &size);
-if (tep_parse_event(tep, buf, size, "ftrace") != 0) {
- /* Failed to parse the ftrace print format */
-}
-
-if (tep_parse_format(tep, &event, buf, size, "ftrace") != 0) {
- /* Failed to parse the ftrace print format */
-}
