tep_set_flag, tep_clear_flag, tep_test_flag - Manage flags of
trace event parser context.
#include <event-parse.h>
enum tep_flag {
TEP_NSEC_OUTPUT,
TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS,
TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS
};
void tep_set_flag(struct tep_handle *tep, enum tep_flag flag);
void tep_clear_flag(struct tep_handle *tep, enum tep_flag flag);
bool tep_test_flag(struct tep_handle *tep, enum tep_flag flag);
Trace event parser context flags are defined in enum tep_flag:
TEP_NSEC_OUTPUT - print event’s timestamp in nano seconds, instead of micro seconds.
TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS - disable plugins, located in system’s plugin
directory. This directory is defined at library compile
time, and usually depends on library installation
prefix: (install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins
TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS - disable all library plugins:
- in system’s plugin directory
- in directory, defined by the environment variable TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR
- in user’s home directory, ~/.traceevent/plugins
Note: plugin related flags must me set before calling
tep_load_plugins() API.
The tep_set_flag() function sets flag to tep context.
The tep_clear_flag() function clears flag from tep context.
The tep_test_flag() function tests if flag is set to tep context.
tep_test_flag() function returns true if flag is set, false
otherwise.
