The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. +The plugin directories are : +[verse] +-- + - System's plugin directory, defined at the library compile time. It + depends on the library installation prefix and usually is + _(install_preffix)/lib/traceevent/plugins_ + - Directory, defined by the environment variable _TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR_ + - User's plugin directory, located at _~/.local/lib/traceevent/plugins_ +-- +Loading of plugins can be controlled by the _tep_flags_, using the +_tep_set_flag()_ API: +[verse] +-- + _TEP_DISABLE_SYS_PLUGINS_ - do not load plugins, located in + the system's plugin directory. + _TEP_DISABLE_PLUGINS_ - do not load any plugins. +-- +The _tep_set_flag()_ API needs to be called before _tep_load_plugins()_, if +loading of all plugins is not the desired case. + +The _tep_unload_plugins()_ function unloads the plugins, previously loaded by +_tep_load_plugins()_. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The +_plugin_list_ is the list of loaded plugins, returned by +the _tep_load_plugins()_ function. + +RETURN VALUE +------------ +The _tep_load_plugins()_ function returns a list of successfully loaded plugins, +or NULL in case no plugins are loaded. + +EXAMPLE +------- +[source,c] +-- +#include <event-parse.h> +... +struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc(); +... +struct tep_plugin_list *plugins = tep_load_plugins(tep); +if (plugins == NULL) { + /* no plugins are loaded */ +} +... +tep_unload_plugins(plugins, tep); +-- + +FILES +----- +[verse] +-- +*event-parse.h* + Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs. +*-ltraceevent* + Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library. +-- + +SEE ALSO +-------- +_libtraceevent(3)_, _trace-cmd(1)_, _tep_set_flag(3)_ + +AUTHOR +------ +[verse] +-- +*Steven Rostedt* <[email protected]>, author of *libtraceevent*. +*Tzvetomir Stoyanov* <[email protected]>, author of this man page. +-- +REPORTING BUGS +-------------- +Report bugs to <[email protected]> + +LICENSE +------- +libtraceevent is Free Software licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 + +RESOURCES +--------- +https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git -- 2.20.1
