tracefs_uprobe_alloc, tracefs_uretprobe_alloc - Allocate new user (return) probe
#include <tracefs.h> struct tracefs_dynevent * tracefs_uprobe_alloc(const char *system, const char *event, const char *file, unsigned long long offset, const char *fetchargs) struct tracefs_dynevent * tracefs_uretprobe_alloc(const char *system, const char *event, const char *file, unsigned long long offset, const char *fetchargs)
tracefs_uprobe_alloc() allocates a new uprobe context. It will be in the system group (or uprobes if system is NULL) and with event name. The uprobe will be attached to offset within the file. The list of arguments, described in fetchargs, will be fetched with the uprobe. The returned pointer to the user probe context must be freed with tracefs_dynevent_free(). The ubrobe is not configured in the system, tracefs_dynevent_* set of APIs can be used to configure it. The tracefs_uretprobe_alloc() behaves the same as tracefs_uprobe_alloc(), the only difference is that it allocates context to user return probe (uretprobe).
The tracefs_uprobe_alloc() and tracefs_uretprobe_alloc() APIs return a pointer to an allocated tracefs_dynevent structure, describing the user probe. This pointer must be freed with tracefs_dynevent_free(3). Note, this only allocates a descriptor representing the uprobe. It does not modify the running system. On error NULL is returned.

tracefs.h Header file to include in order to have access to the library APIs. -ltracefs Linker switch to add when building a program that uses the library.
