18DESCRIPTION
19-----------
20
21The _tep_print_event()_ function parses the event information of the given
22_record_ and writes it into the trace sequence _s_, according to the format
23string _fmt_. The desired information is specified after the format string.
24The _fmt_ is printf-like format string, following arguments are supported:
25[verse]
26--
27	TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d"  - PID of the event.
28	TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d"  - Event CPU.
29	TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - Event command string.
30	TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - Event name.
31	TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - Latency of the event. It prints 4 or more
32			fields - interrupt state, scheduling state,
33			current context, and preemption count.
34			Field 1 is the interrupt enabled state:
35				d : Interrupts are disabled
36				. : Interrupts are enabled
37				X : The architecture does not support this
38				    information
39			Field 2 is the "need resched" state.
40				N : The task is set to call the scheduler when
41				    possible, as another higher priority task
42				    may need to be scheduled in.
43				. : The task is not set to call the scheduler.
44			Field 3 is the context state.
45				. : Normal context
46				s : Soft interrupt context
47				h : Hard interrupt context
48				H : Hard interrupt context which triggered
49				    during soft interrupt context.
50				z : NMI context
51				Z : NMI context which triggered during hard
52				    interrupt context
53			Field 4 is the preemption count.
54				. : The preempt count is zero.
55			On preemptible kernels (where the task can be scheduled
56			out in arbitrary locations while in kernel context), the
57			preempt count, when non zero, will prevent the kernel
58			from scheduling out the current task. The preempt count
59			number is displayed when it is not zero.
60			Depending on the kernel, it may show other fields
61			(lock depth, or migration disabled, which are unique to
62			specialized kernels).
63	TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp. A divisor and precision can be
64			specified as part of this format string:
65			"%precision.divisord". Example:
66			"%3.1000d" - divide the time by 1000 and print the first
67			3 digits before the dot. Thus, the time stamp
68			"123456000" will be printed as "123.456"
69	TEP_PRINT_INFO, "%s" - event information.
70	TEP_PRINT_INFO_RAW, "%s" - event information, in raw format.
