The *tracefs_cpu_close()* closes all the file descriptors associated to the trace_pipe_raw opened by *tracefs_cpu_open()*. +The *tracefs_cpu_alloc_fd()* will create a tracefs_cpu descriptor from an existing +file descriptor _fd_. This is useful to use when connecting to a socket or pipe where +the other end is feeding raw tracing data in the same format as the trace_pipe_raw +file would (like in guest to host tracing). The caller is responsible for determining +the _subbuf_size_ that will be used to break up the sub-buffers being read by the +file descriptor. The _nonblock_ is treated the same as the same parameter in +*tracefs_cpu_open()*. + +The *tracefs_cpu_free_fd()* is used to free the descriptor returned by *tracefs_cpu_alloc_fd()*. +It does all the clean up that *tracefs_cpu_close()* performs, and that could also be +used to free up the descriptor created by *tracefs_cpu_alloc_fd()* but will also close +the file descriptor passed in. Note that *tracefs_cpu_free_fd()* should not be used +on the descriptor returned by *tracefs_cpu_open()* as it will not close the file descriptor +created by it. + RETURN VALUE ------------ The *tracefs_cpu_open()* returns a struct tracefs_cpu descriptor that can be used by the other functions or NULL on error. +The *tracefs_cpu_alloc_fd()* returns a struct tracefs_cpu descriptor that can +be used by the *tracefs_cpu_read*(3) related functions, where the descriptor +will be reading the passed in _fd_ file descriptor. + EXAMPLE ------- See *tracefs_cpu_read*(3) for an example. diff --git a/Documentation/libtracefs.txt b/Documentation/libtracefs.txt index d41c7ab382ee..50af23e33026 100644 --- a/Documentation/libtracefs.txt +++ b/Documentation/libtracefs.txt @@ -270,7 +270,9 @@ Histograms: Recording of trace_pipe_raw files: struct tracefs_cpu pass:[*]*tracefs_cpu_open*(struct tracefs_instance pass:[*]_instance_, int _cpu_, bool _nonblock_); + struct tracefs_cpu pass:[*]*tracefs_cpu_alloc_fd*(int _fd_, int _subbuf_size_, bool _nonblock_); void *tracefs_cpu_close*(struct tracefs_cpu pass:[*]_tcpu_); + void *tracefs_cpu_free_fd*(struct tracefs_cpu pass:[*]_tcpu_); int *tracefs_cpu_read_size*(struct tracefs_cpu pass:[*]_tcpu_); int *tracefs_cpu_read*(struct tracefs_cpu pass:[*]_tcpu_, void pass:[*]_buffer_, bool _nonblock_); int *tracefs_cpu_buffered_read*(struct tracefs_cpu pass:[*]_tcpu_, void pass:[*]_buffer_, bool _nonblock_); -- 2.35.1
