+NAME
+----
+tep_read_number - Reads a number from raw data.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+unsigned long long *tep_read_number*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, const void pass:[*]_ptr_, int _size_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_read_number()_ function reads an integer from raw data, taking into
+account the endianness of the raw data and the current host. The _tep_ argument
+is the trace event parser context. The _ptr_ is a pointer to the raw data, where
+the integer is, and the _size_ is the size of the integer.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_read_number()_ function returns the integer in the byte order of
+the current host. In case of an error, 0 is returned.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+void process_record(struct tep_record *record)
+{
+	int offset = 24;
+	int data = tep_read_number(tep, record->data + offset, 4);
+
+	/* Read the 4 bytes at the offset 24 of data as an integer */
+}
+...
+--
+
+FILES

+	Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
