+NAME

+tep_register_event_handler, tep_unregister_event_handler - Register /
+unregisters a callback function to parse an event information.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+enum *tep_reg_handler* {
+ _TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_,
+ _TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE_,
+};
+
+int *tep_register_event_handler*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _id_, const char pass:[*]_sys_name_, const char pass:[*]_event_name_, tep_event_handler_func _func_, void pass:[*]_context_);
+int *tep_unregister_event_handler*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]tep, int id, const char pass:[*]sys_name, const char pass:[*]event_name, tep_event_handler_func func, void pass:[*]_context_);
+
+typedef int (*pass:[*]tep_event_handler_func*)(struct trace_seq pass:[*]s, struct tep_record pass:[*]record, struct tep_event pass:[*]event, void pass:[*]context);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_register_event_handler()_ function registers a handler function,
+which is going to be called to parse the information for a given event.
+The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context. The _id_ argument is
+the id of the event. The _sys_name_ argument is the name of the system,
+the event belongs to. The _event_name_ argument is the name of the event.
+If _id_ is >= 0, it is used to find the event, otherwise _sys_name_ and
+_event_name_ are used. The _func_ is a pointer to the function, which is going
+to be called to parse the event information. The _context_ argument is a pointer
+to the context data, which will be passed to the _func_. If a handler function
+for the same event is already registered, it will be overridden with the new
+one. This mechanism allows a developer to override the parsing of a given event.
+If for some reason the default print format is not sufficient, the developer
+can register a function for an event to be used to parse the data instead.
+
+The _tep_unregister_event_handler()_ function unregisters the handler function,
+previously registered with _tep_register_event_handler()_. The _tep_ argument
+is the trace event parser context. The _id_, _sys_name_, _event_name_, _func_,
+and _context_ are the same arguments, as when the callback function _func_ was
+registered.
+
+The _tep_event_handler_func_ is the type of the custom event handler
+function. The _s_ argument is the trace sequence, it can be used to create a
+custom string, describing the event. A _record_ to get the event from is passed
+as input parameter and also the _event_ - the handle to the record's event. The
+_context_ is custom context, set when the custom event handler is registered.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_register_event_handler()_ function returns _TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_
+if the new handler is registered successfully or
+_TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE_ if an existing handler is overwritten.
+If there is not enough memory to complete the registration,
+TEP_ERRNO__MEM_ALLOC_FAILED is returned.
+
+The _tep_unregister_event_handler()_ function returns 0 if _func_ was removed
+successful or, -1 if the event was not found.
+
+The _tep_event_handler_func_ should return -1 in case of an error,
+or 0 otherwise.

+
+ trace_seq_printf(s, " now=");
+
+ tep_print_num_field(s, "%llu", event, "now", record, 1);
+
+ tep_print_func_field(s, " function=%s", event, "function", record, 0);
+
+ return 0;
+}
+...
+ int ret;
+
+ ret = tep_register_event_handler(tep, -1, "timer", "hrtimer_expire_entry",
+ timer_expire_handler, NULL);
+ if (ret < 0) {
+ char buf[32];
+
+ tep_strerror(tep, ret, buf, 32)
+ printf("Failed to register handler for hrtimer_expire_entry: %s\n", buf);
+ } else {
+ switch (ret) {
+ case TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS:
+ printf ("Registered handler for hrtimer_expire_entry\n");
+ break;
+ case TEP_REGISTER_SUCCESS_OVERWRITE:
+ printf ("Overwrote handler for hrtimer_expire_entry\n");
+ break;
+ }
+ }
+...
+ ret = tep_unregister_event_handler(tep, -1, "timer", "hrtimer_expire_entry",
