SYNOPSIS

12       void tep_print_event(struct tep_handle *tep, struct trace_seq*s, struct tep_record *record, const char *fmt, ...)

DESCRIPTION

15       The tep_print_event() function parses the event information of the
16       given record and writes it into the trace sequence s, according to the
17       format string fmt. The desired information is specified after the
18       format string. The fmt is printf-like format string, following
19       arguments are supported:
20
21                   TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d"  - PID of the event.
22                   TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d"  - Event CPU.
23                   TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - Event command string.
24                   TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - Event name.
25                   TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - Latency of the event. It prints 4 or more
26                                   fields - interrupt state, scheduling state,
27                                   current context, and preemption count.
28                                   Field 1 is the interrupt enabled state:
29                                           d : Interrupts are disabled
30                                           . : Interrupts are enabled
31                                           X : The architecture does not support this
32                                               information
33                                   Field 2 is the "need resched" state.
34                                           N : The task is set to call the scheduler when
35                                               possible, as another higher priority task
36                                               may need to be scheduled in.
37                                           . : The task is not set to call the scheduler.
38                                   Field 3 is the context state.
39                                           . : Normal context
40                                           s : Soft interrupt context
41                                           h : Hard interrupt context
42                                           H : Hard interrupt context which triggered
43                                               during soft interrupt context.
44                                           z : NMI context
45                                           Z : NMI context which triggered during hard
46                                               interrupt context
47                                   Field 4 is the preemption count.
48                                           . : The preempt count is zero.
49                                   On preemptible kernels (where the task can be scheduled
50                                   out in arbitrary locations while in kernel context), the
51                                   preempt count, when non zero, will prevent the kernel
52                                   from scheduling out the current task. The preempt count
53                                   number is displayed when it is not zero.
54                                   Depending on the kernel, it may show other fields
55                                   (lock depth, or migration disabled, which are unique to
56                                   specialized kernels).
57                   TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp. A divisor and precision can be
58                                   specified as part of this format string:
59                                   "%precision.divisord". Example:
60                                   "%3.1000d" - divide the time by 1000 and print the first
61                                   3 digits before the dot. Thus, the time stamp
62                                   "123456000" will be printed as "123.456"
63                   TEP_PRINT_INFO, "%s" - event information.
64                   TEP_PRINT_INFO_RAW, "%s" - event information, in raw format.
