+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+These functions print recorded field's data, according to the field's type.
+
+The *tep_print_field_content()* function extracts from the recorded raw _data_ value of
+the _field_ and prints it into _s_, according to the field type.
+
+The *tep_print_fields()* prints each field name followed by the record's field
+value according to the field's type:
+[verse]
+--
+"field1_name=field1_value field2_name=field2_value ..."
+--
+It iterates all fields of the _event_, and calls *tep_print_field_content()* for each of
+them.
+
+The *tep_print_num_field()* function prints a numeric field with given format
+string. A search is performed in the _event_ for a field with _name_. If such
+field is found, its value is extracted from the _record_ and is printed in the
+_s_, according to the given format string _fmt_. If the argument _err_ is
+non-zero, and an error occures - it is printed in the _s_.
+
+The *tep_print_func_field()* function prints a function field with given format
+string.  A search is performed in the _event_ for a field with _name_. If such
+field is found, its value is extracted from the _record_. The value is assumed
+to be a function address, and a search is perform to find the name of this
+function. The function name (if found) and its address are printed in the _s_,
+according to the given format string _fmt_. If the argument _err_ is non-zero,
+and an error occures - it is printed in _s_.
+
+The *tep_record_print_fields()* prints the field's name followed by its value
+for all record's field.
+
+The *tep_record_print_selected_fields()* prints the field's name followed by
+its value for selected subset of record field. The fields to be printed are
+defined by the _select_mask_ bit mask.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The *tep_print_num_field()* and *tep_print_func_field()* functions return 1
+on success, -1 in case of an error or 0 if the print buffer _s_ is full.

+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+#include <trace-seq.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+struct trace_seq seq;
+trace_seq_init(&seq);
+struct tep_event *event = tep_find_event_by_name(tep, "timer", "hrtimer_start");
+...
+void process_record(struct tep_record *record)
+{
+	struct tep_format_field *field_pid = tep_find_common_field(event, "common_pid");
+
+	trace_seq_reset(&seq);
+
+	/* Print the value of "common_pid" */
+	tep_print_field_content(&seq, record->data, record->size, field_pid);
+
+	/* Print all fields of the "hrtimer_start" event */
+	tep_print_fields(&seq, record->data, record->size, event);
+
+	/* Print the value of "expires" field with custom format string */
+	tep_print_num_field(&seq, " timer expires in %llu ", event, "expires", record, 0);
+
+	/* Print the address and the name of "function" field with custom format string */
+	tep_print_func_field(&seq, " timer function is %s ", event, "function", record, 0);
+ }
