LIBTRACEFS(3) libtracefs Manual LIBTRACEFS(3)
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.
