NAME
----
tep_get_page_size, tep_set_page_size, tep_get_sub_buffer_size - Get / set the size of a memory page on
the machine, where the trace is generated

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
--
*#include <event-parse.h>*

int *tep_get_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
void *tep_set_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _page_size_);
int *tep_get_sub_buffer_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
--

DESCRIPTION
-----------
The *tep_get_page_size()* function returns the size of a memory page on
the machine, where the trace is generated. The _tep_ argument is trace
event parser context.

The *tep_set_page_size()* function stores in the _tep_ context the size of a
memory page on the machine, where the trace is generated.
The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
The _page_size_ argument is the size of a memory page, in bytes.

The *tep_get_sub_buffer_size()* returns the size of each "sub buffer" of the
ring buffer. The Linux kernel ring buffer is broken up into sections called
sub buffers. This returns the size of those buffers.

RETURN VALUE
------------
The *tep_get_page_size()* function returns size of the memory page, in bytes.

The *tep_get_sub_buffer_size()* function returns the number of bytes each sub
buffer is made up of.

EXAMPLE
-------
[source,c]
--
#include <unistd.h>
#include <event-parse.h>
...
struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
...
	int page_size = getpagesize();

	tep_set_page_size(tep, page_size);

	printf("The page size for this machine is %d\n", tep_get_page_size(tep));
