+NAME
+----
+tep_print_event - Writes event information into a trace sequence.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+*#include <trace-seq.h>*
+
+void *tep_print_event*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, struct trace_seqpass:[*]_s_, struct tep_record pass:[*]_record_, const char pass:[*]_fmt_, _..._)
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+The _tep_print_event()_ function parses the event information of the given
+_record_ and writes it into the trace sequence _s_, according to the format
+string _fmt_. The desired information is specified after the format string.
+The _fmt_ is printf-like format string, following arguments are supported:
+[verse]
+--
+       TEP_PRINT_PID, "%d"  - PID of the event.
+       TEP_PRINT_CPU, "%d"  - Event CPU.
+       TEP_PRINT_COMM, "%s" - Event command string.
+       TEP_PRINT_NAME, "%s" - Event name.
+       TEP_PRINT_LATENCY, "%s" - Latency of the event. It prints 4 or more
+                       fields - interrupt state, scheduling state,
+                       current context, and preemption count.
+                       Field 1 is the interrupt enabled state:
+                               d : Interrupts are disabled
+                               . : Interrupts are enabled
+                               X : The architecture does not support this
+                                   information
+                       Field 2 is the "need resched" state.
+                               N : The task is set to call the scheduler when
+                                   possible, as another higher priority task
+                                   may need to be scheduled in.
+                               . : The task is not set to call the scheduler.
+                       Field 3 is the context state.
+                               . : Normal context
+                               s : Soft interrupt context
+                               h : Hard interrupt context
+                               H : Hard interrupt context which triggered
+                                   during soft interrupt context.
+                               z : NMI context
+                               Z : NMI context which triggered during hard
+                                   interrupt context
+                       Field 4 is the preemption count.
+                               . : The preempt count is zero.
+                       On preemptible kernels (where the task can be scheduled
+                       out in arbitrary locations while in kernel context), the
+                       preempt count, when non zero, will prevent the kernel
+                       from scheduling out the current task. The preempt count
+                       number is displayed when it is not zero.
+                       Depending on the kernel, it may show other fields
+                       (lock depth, or migration disabled, which are unique to
+                       specialized kernels).
+       TEP_PRINT_TIME, %d - event time stamp. A divisor and precision can be
+                       specified as part of this format string:
+                       "%precision.divisord". Example:
+                       "%3.1000d" - divide the time by 1000 and print the first
+                       3 digits before the dot. Thus, the time stamp
+                       "123456000" will be printed as "123.456"
+       TEP_PRINT_INFO, "%s" - event information.
+       TEP_PRINT_INFO_RAW, "%s" - event information, in raw format.
