Filters can be attached to traced events. They can be used to
filter out various events when outputting them. Each event can be
filtered based on its parameters, described in the event’s format
file. This set of functions can be used to create, delete, modify
and attach event filters.
The tep_filter_alloc() function creates a new event filter. The
tep argument is the trace event parser context.
The tep_filter_free() function frees an event filter and all
resources that it had used.
The tep_filter_reset() function removes all rules from an event
filter and resets it.
The tep_filter_add_filter_str() function adds a new rule to the
filter. The filter_str argument is the filter string, that
contains the rule.
The tep_event_filtered() function checks if the event with
event_id has filter.
The tep_filter_remove_event() function removes a filter for an
event with event_id.
The tep_filter_match() function tests if a record matches given
filter.
The tep_filter_copy() function copies a source filter into a dest
filter.
The tep_filter_compare() function compares two filers - filter1
and filter2.
The tep_filter_make_string() function constructs a string,
displaying the filter contents for given event_id.
The tep_filter_strerror() function copies the filter error buffer
into the given buf with the size buflen. If the error buffer is
empty, in the buf is copied a string, describing the error err.
The tep_filter_alloc() function returns a pointer to the newly
created event filter, or NULL in case of an error.
The tep_filter_add_filter_str() function returns 0 if the rule
was successfully added or a negative error code. Use
tep_filter_strerror() to see actual error message in case of an
error.
The tep_event_filtered() function returns 1 if the filter is
found for given event, or 0 otherwise.
The tep_filter_remove_event() function returns 1 if the vent was
removed, or 0 if the event was not found.
The tep_filter_match() function returns tep_errno, according to
the result:
TEP_ERRNO__FILTER_MATCH - filter found for event, the record matches.
TEP_ERRNO__FILTER_MISS - filter found for event, the record does not match.
TEP_ERRNO__FILTER_NOT_FOUND - no filter found for record’s event.
TEP_ERRNO__NO_FILTER - no rules in the filter.
or any other tep_errno, if an error occurred during the test.
The tep_filter_copy() function returns 0 on success or -1 if not
all rules were copied.
The tep_filter_compare() function returns 1 if the two filters
hold the same content, or 0 if they do not.
The tep_filter_make_string() function returns a string, which
must be freed with free(), or NULL in case of an error.
The tep_filter_strerror() function returns 0 if message was
filled successfully, or -1 in case of an error.
