From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Currently, trace-cmd does the work of parsing kallsyms, saved_cmdlines, and printk_formats and feeding it to the libtraceevent tep handle. When starting to write code snippets that work directly with libtracefs and libtraceevent, I found that I need this functionality as well. But this code doesn't need libtracecmd. As these files exist in /proc and in the tracefs directly, just like we have events and headers that get parsed by libtraceevent, add this functionality directly to libtraceevent, as libtraceevent is made to parse files for processing of events, and all of the above do exactly that. Changes since version 1: - Make this a patch series. - Updated gitignore to ignore created files. The documentation directory become impossible to examine with git status. - Move all the man pages into libtraceevent-parse-files.txt as it become obvious after writing the man page for tep_parse_printk_formats(), that they should all be grouped together.
