The libtraceevent(3) library provides APIs to access kernel
tracepoint events, located in the tracefs file system under the
events directory.
TRACEEVENT_PLUGIN_DIR
Additional plugin directory. All shared object files, located in this directory will be loaded as traceevent plugins.
event-parse.h
Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs.
trace-seq.h
Header file to include in order to have access to trace sequences related APIs.
Trace sequences are used to allow a function to call several other functions
to create a string of data to use.
-ltraceevent
Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.
