+NAME
+----
+tracefs_eprobe_alloc - Allocate new event probe (eprobe)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <tracefs.h>*
+
+struct tracefs_dynevent pass:[*]
+*tracefs_eprobe_alloc*(const char pass:[*]_system_, const char pass:[*]_event_,
+		       const char pass:[*]_target_system_, const char pass:[*]_target_event_,
+		       const char pass:[*]_fetchargs_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+*tracefs_eprobe_alloc*() allocates a new eprobe context. The ebrobe is not configured in the system.
+The new eprobe will be in the _system_ group (or eprobes if _system_ is NULL) and have the name of
+_event_. The eprobe will be attached to _target_event_, located in _target_system_. The list of
+arguments, described in _fetchargs_, will be fetched from _target_event_. The returned pointer to
+the event probe must be freed with *tracefs_dynevent_free*().
+
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The *tracefs_eprobe_alloc*() API returns a pointer to an allocated tracefs_dynevent structure,
+describing the event probe. This pointer must be freed by *tracefs_dynevent_free*(3). Note, this
+only allocates a descriptor representing the eprobe. It does not modify the running system. On error
+NULL is returned.
