NAME

tep_register_comm, tep_override_comm, tep_pid_is_registered,
tep_data_comm_from_pid, tep_data_pid_from_comm, tep_cmdline_pid -
Manage pid to process name mappings.
SYNOPSIS

*#include <event-parse.h>*
int *tep_register_comm*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_comm_, int _pid_);
int *tep_override_comm*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const char pass:[*]_comm_, int _pid_);
bool *tep_is_pid_registered*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _pid_);
const char pass:[*]*tep_data_comm_from_pid*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_pevent_, int _pid_);
struct cmdline pass:[*]*tep_data_pid_from_comm*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_pevent_, const char pass:[*]_comm_, struct cmdline pass:[*]_next_);
int *tep_cmdline_pid*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_pevent_, struct cmdline pass:[*]_cmdline_);

DESCRIPTION
-----------
These functions can be used to handle the mapping between pid and process name.
The library builds a cache of these mappings, which is used to display the name
of the process, instead of its pid. This information can be retrieved from
tracefs/saved_cmdlines file.
The _tep_register_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping.
If a command with the same _pid_ is already registered, an error is returned.
The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_ argument is the process name,
_tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is duplicated internally.
The _tep_override_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping.
If a process with the same pid is already registered, the process name string is
udapted with the new one. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_
argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is
duplicated internally.
The _tep_is_pid_registered()_ function checks if a pid has a process name
mapping registered. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event
context.
The _tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name for a given
pid. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event context.
The returned string should not be freed, but will be freed when the _tep_
handler is closed.
The _tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pid for a given process name.
The _comm_ argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context.
The argument _next_ is the cmdline structure to search for the next pid.
As there may be more than one pid for a given process, the result of this call
can be passed back into a recurring call in the _next_ parameter, to search for
the next pid. If _next_ is NULL, it will return the first pid associated with
the _comm_. The function performs a linear search, so it may be slow.
The _tep_cmdline_pid()_ function returns the pid associated with a given
_cmdline_. The _tep_ argument is the event context.
RETURN VALUE
------------
_tep_register_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there
is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_ or EEXIST if a mapping for this
_pid_ is already registered.
_tep_override_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there
is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_.
_tep_is_pid_registered()_ function returns true if the _pid_ has a process name
mapped to it, false otherwise.
_tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name as string, or the
string "<...>" if there is no mapping for the given pid.
_tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pointer to a struct cmdline, that
holds a pid for a given process, or NULL if none is found. This result can be
passed back into a recurring call as the _next_ parameter of the function.
_tep_cmdline_pid()_ functions returns the pid for the give cmdline. If _cmdline_
is NULL, then -1 is returned.
EXAMPLE
-------
The following example registers pid for command "ls", in context of event _tep_
and performs various searches for pid / process name mappings:
[source,c]
--
#include <event-parse.h>
...
int ret;
int ls_pid = 1021;
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
ret = tep_register_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
if (ret != 0 && errno == EEXIST)
ret = tep_override_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
if (ret != 0) {
/* Failed to register pid / command mapping */
}
...
if (tep_is_pid_registered(tep, ls_pid) == 0) {
/* Command mapping for ls_pid is not registered */
}
...
const char *comm = tep_data_comm_from_pid(tep, ls_pid);
if (comm) {
/* Found process name for ls_pid */
}
...
int pid;
struct cmdline *cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", NULL);
while (cmd) {
pid = tep_cmdline_pid(tep, cmd);
/* Found pid for process "ls" */
cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", cmd);
}
