LIBTRACEEVENT(3) libtraceevent ManualLIBTRACEEVENT(3)tep_get_page_size, tep_set_page_size, tep_get_sub_buffer_data_size, tep_get_sub_buffer_size - Get / set the size of a memory page on the machine, where the trace is generated
#include <event-parse.h> inttep_get_page_size(struct tep_handle *tep); voidtep_set_page_size(struct tep_handle *tep, intpage_size); inttep_get_sub_buffer_size(struct tep_handle *tep); inttep_get_sub_buffer_data_size(struct tep_handle *tep); inttep_get_sub_buffer_commit_offset(struct tep_handle *tep);
Thetep_get_page_size()function returns the size of a memory page on the machine, where the trace is generated. Thetep argument is trace event parser context. Thetep_set_page_size()function stores in thetep context the size of a memory page on the machine, where the trace is generated. Thetep argument is trace event parser context. Thepage_size argument is the size of a memory page, in bytes. Thetep_get_sub_buffer_size()returns the size of each "sub buffer" of the ring buffer. The Linux kernel ring buffer is broken up into sections called sub buffers. This returns the size of those buffers. Thetep_get_sub_buffer_data_size()returns the size of just the data portion of the sub buffers. Thetep_get_sub_buffer_commit_offset()returns the offset on the sub buffer that holds the committed portion of data. This number contains the index from the data portion of the sub buffer that is the end of the last element on the sub buffer.
Thetep_get_page_size()function returns size of the memory page, in bytes. Thetep_get_sub_buffer_size()function returns the number of bytes each sub buffer is made up of. Thetep_get_sub_buffer_commit_offset()function returns the location on the sub buffer that contains the index of the last element.
