NAME

-tep_get_cpus, tep_set_cpus - Get / set the number of CPUs, which have a tracing

DESCRIPTION
-----------
-The _tep_get_cpus()_ function gets the number of CPUs, which have a tracing
-buffer representing it. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
-
-The _tep_set_cpus()_ function sets the number of CPUs, which have a tracing
-buffer representing it. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
-The _cpu_ argument is the number of CPUs with tracing data.
+The _tep_read_number()_ function reads an integer from raw data, taking into
+account the endianness of the raw data and the current host. The _tep_ argument
+is the trace event parser context. The _ptr_ is a pointer to the raw data, where
+the integer is, and the _size_ is the size of the integer.
RETURN VALUE
------------
-The _tep_get_cpus()_ functions returns the number of CPUs, which have tracing
-data recorded.
+The _tep_read_number()_ function returns the integer in the byte order of
+the current host. In case of an error, 0 is returned.
