DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
These functions can be used to handle the mapping between pid and process name.
|
|
The library builds a cache of these mappings, which is used to display the name
|
|
of the process, instead of its pid. This information can be retrieved from
|
|
tracefs/saved_cmdlines file.
|
|
|
|
The _tep_register_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping.
|
|
If a command with the same _pid_ is already registered, an error is returned.
|
|
The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_ argument is the process name,
|
|
_tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is duplicated internally.
|
|
|
|
The _tep_override_comm()_ function registers a _pid_ / process name mapping.
|
|
If a process with the same pid is already registered, the process name string is
|
|
udapted with the new one. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, the _comm_
|
|
argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context. The _comm_ is
|
|
duplicated internally.
|
|
|
|
The _tep_is_pid_registered()_ function checks if a pid has a process name
|
|
mapping registered. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event
|
|
context.
|
|
|
|
The _tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name for a given
|
|
pid. The _pid_ argument is the process ID, _tep_ is the event context.
|
|
The returned string should not be freed, but will be freed when the _tep_
|
|
handler is closed.
|
|
|
|
The _tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pid for a given process name.
|
|
The _comm_ argument is the process name, _tep_ is the event context.
|
|
The argument _next_ is the cmdline structure to search for the next pid.
|
|
As there may be more than one pid for a given process, the result of this call
|
|
can be passed back into a recurring call in the _next_ parameter, to search for
|
|
the next pid. If _next_ is NULL, it will return the first pid associated with
|
|
the _comm_. The function performs a linear search, so it may be slow.
|
|
|
|
The _tep_cmdline_pid()_ function returns the pid associated with a given
|
|
_cmdline_. The _tep_ argument is the event context.
|
|
|
|
RETURN VALUE
|
|
------------
|
|
_tep_register_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is
|
|
returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there
|
|
is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_ or EEXIST if a mapping for this
|
|
_pid_ is already registered.
|
|
|
|
_tep_override_comm()_ function returns 0 on success. In case of an error -1 is
|
|
returned and errno is set to indicate the cause of the problem: ENOMEM, if there
|
|
is not enough memory to duplicate the _comm_.
|
|
|
|
_tep_is_pid_registered()_ function returns true if the _pid_ has a process name
|
|
mapped to it, false otherwise.
|
|
|
|
_tep_data_comm_from_pid()_ function returns the process name as string, or the
|
|
string "<...>" if there is no mapping for the given pid.
|
|
|
|
_tep_data_pid_from_comm()_ function returns a pointer to a struct cmdline, that
|
|
holds a pid for a given process, or NULL if none is found. This result can be
|
|
passed back into a recurring call as the _next_ parameter of the function.
|
|
|
|
_tep_cmdline_pid()_ functions returns the pid for the give cmdline. If _cmdline_
|
|
is NULL, then -1 is returned.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
-------
|
|
The following example registers pid for command "ls", in context of event _tep_
|
|
and performs various searches for pid / process name mappings:

|
[source,c]

|
--
|
|
#include <event-parse.h>
|
|
...
|
|
int ret;
|
|
int ls_pid = 1021;
|
|
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
|
|
...
|
|
ret = tep_register_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
|
|
if (ret != 0 && errno == EEXIST)
|
|
ret = tep_override_comm(tep, "ls", ls_pid);
|
|
if (ret != 0) {
|
|
/* Failed to register pid / command mapping */
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
if (tep_is_pid_registered(tep, ls_pid) == 0) {
|
|
/* Command mapping for ls_pid is not registered */
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
const char *comm = tep_data_comm_from_pid(tep, ls_pid);
|
|
if (comm) {
|
|
/* Found process name for ls_pid */
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
int pid;
|
|
struct cmdline *cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", NULL);
|
|
while (cmd) {
|
|
pid = tep_cmdline_pid(tep, cmd);
|
|
/* Found pid for process "ls" */
|
|
cmd = tep_data_pid_from_comm(tep, "ls", cmd);
|
|
}
