205DESCRIPTION
206-----------
207The libtraceevent(3) library provides APIs to access kernel tracepoint events,
208located in the tracefs file system under the events directory.
209
210ENVIRONMENT
211-----------
212[verse]
213--
214TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR
215	Additional plugin directory. All shared object files, located in this directory will be loaded as traceevent plugins.
216--
217
218FILES
219-----
220[verse]
221--
222*event-parse.h*
223	Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
224*trace-seq.h*
225	Header file to include in order to have access to trace sequences related APIs.
226	Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions
227	to create a string of data to use.
228*-ltraceevent*
229	Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.
