NAME
tep_read_number_field - Reads a number from raw data.
SYNOPSIS
#include <event-parse.h>
int tep_read_number_field(struct tep_format_field *field, const void *data, unsigned long long *value);
DESCRIPTION
The tep_read_number_field() function reads the value of the field
from the raw data and stores it in the value. The function sets
the value according to the endianness of the raw data and the
current machine and stores it in value.
RETURN VALUE
The tep_read_number_field() function retunrs 0 in case of
success, or -1 in case of an error.
EXAMPLE
#include <event-parse.h>
...
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
struct tep_event *event = tep_find_event_by_name(tep, "timer", "hrtimer_start");
...
void process_record(struct tep_record *record)
{
unsigned long long pid;
struct tep_format_field *field_pid = tep_find_common_field(event, "common_pid");
if (tep_read_number_field(field_pid, record->data, &pid) != 0) {
/* Failed to get "common_pid" value */
}
}
...
