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. + +-- +EXAMPLE +------- +[source,c] +-- +#include <event-parse.h> +#include <trace-seq.h> +... +struct trace_seq seq; +trace_seq_init(&seq); +struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc(); +... +void print_my_event(struct tep_record *record) +{ + trace_seq_reset(&seq); + tep_print_event(tep, s, record, "%16s-%-5d [%03d] %s %6.1000d %s %s", + TEP_PRINT_COMM, TEP_PRINT_PID, TEP_PRINT_CPU, + TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, TEP_PRINT_TIME, TEP_PRINT_NAME, + TEP_PRINT_INFO); +} +... +-- + +FILES +----- +[verse] +-- +*event-parse.h* + Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs. +*trace-seq.h* + Header file to include in order to have access to trace sequences related APIs. + Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions + to create a string of data to use. +*-ltraceevent* + Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library. +-- + +SEE ALSO +-------- +_libtraceevent(3)_, _trace-cmd(1)_ + +AUTHOR +------ +[verse] +-- +*Steven Rostedt* <rostedt@goodmis.org>, author of *libtraceevent*. +*Tzvetomir Stoyanov* <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com>, author of this man page. +-- +REPORTING BUGS +-------------- +Report bugs to <linux-trace-devel@vger.kernel.org> + +LICENSE +------- +libtraceevent is Free Software licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 + +RESOURCES +--------- +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git |
