NAME

6       tep_find_common_field, tep_find_field, tep_find_any_field - Search for
7       a field in an event.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <event-parse.h>
11
12       struct tep_format_field *tep_find_common_field(struct tep_event *event, const char *name);
13       struct tep_format_field *tep_find_field(struct tep_event_ormat *event, const char *name);
14       struct tep_format_field *tep_find_any_field(struct tep_event *event, const char *name);
15

DESCRIPTION

17       These functions search for a field with given name in an event. The
18       field returned can be used to find the field content from within a data
19       record.
20
21       The tep_find_common_field() function searches for a common field with
22       name in the event.
23
24       The tep_find_field() function searches for an event specific field with
25       name in the event.
26
27       The tep_find_any_field() function searches for any field with name in
28       the event.
29

RETURN VALUE

31       The tep_find_common_field(), tep_find_field() and _tep_find_any_field()
32       functions return a pointer to the found field, or NULL in case there is
33       no field with the requested name.
34
