NAME
----
tep_parse_saved_cmdlines, tep_parse_printk_formats, tep_parse_kallsyms
- Parsing functions to load mappings
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
--
*#include <event-parse.h>*
int *tep_parse_saved_cmdlines*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_buf_);
int *tep_parse_printk_formats*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_buf_);
int *tep_parse_kallsyms*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_buf_);
--
DESCRIPTION
-----------
*tep_parse_saved_cmdlines()* is a helper function to parse content in the tracefs
file system of the "saved_cmdlines" file (stored in a string buffer passed in by _buf_)
and loads the mapping of the process IDs (pid) to the comm names in the
_tep_ handler. The events store the pid and this is used to be able to show the
process names associated to those process ids. It parses the string _buf_ that
holds the content of saved_cmdlines and ends with a nul character ('\0').
*tep_parse_printk_formats()* is a helper function to parse content in the tracefs
file system of the "printk_formats" file (stored in a string buffer passed in by _buf_)
and loads the mapping of addresses of strings that may be referenced by events.
Events only store the address of constant strings in the kernel, and the mapping
of their address to the string is exported to user space in the printk_formats
file. It parses the string _buf_ that holds the content of printk_formats and
ends with a nul character ('\0').
*tep_parse_kallsyms()* is a helper function to parse the Linux kernel /proc/kallsyms format
(stored in a string buffer passed in by _buf_) and load the functions into the
_tep_ handler such that function IP addresses can be mapped to their name when
parsing events with %pS in the print format field. It parses the string _buf_ that
holds the content of /proc/kallsyms and ends with a nul character ('\0').
RETURN VALUE
------------
The *tep_parse_saved_cmdlines*() function returns 0 in case of success, or -1
in case of an error.
The *tep_parse_printk_formats*() function returns 0 in case of success, or -1
in case of an error.
The *tep_parse_kallsyms*() function returns 0 in case of success, or -1
in case of an error.
