30  """An iterator for reading `Event` protocol buffers from an event file.
31
32  You can use this function to read events written to an event file. It returns
33  a Python iterator that yields `Event` protocol buffers.
34
35  Example: Print the contents of an events file.
36
37  ```python
38  for e in tf.train.summary_iterator(path to events file):
39      print(e)
40  ```
41
42  Example: Print selected summary values.
43
44  ```python
45  # This example supposes that the events file contains summaries with a
46  # summary value tag 'loss'.  These could have been added by calling
47  # `add_summary()`, passing the output of a scalar summary op created with
48  # with: `tf.summary.scalar('loss', loss_tensor)`.
49  for e in tf.train.summary_iterator(path to events file):
50      for v in e.summary.value:
51          if v.tag == 'loss':
52              print(v.simple_value)
53  ```

55  See the protocol buffer definitions of
56  [Event](https://www.tensorflow.org/code/tensorflow/core/util/event.proto)
57  and
58  [Summary](https://www.tensorflow.org/code/tensorflow/core/framework/summary.proto)
59  for more information about their attributes.
60
61  Args:
62    path: The path to an event file created by a `SummaryWriter`.
63
64  Yields:
65    `Event` protocol buffers.
