kbuffer_timestamp - Man Page

#include <kbuffer.h>

unsigned long long kbuffer_timestamp(struct kbuffer *kbuf);
unsigned long long kbuffer_subbuf_timestamp(struct kbuffer *kbuf, void *subbuf);

The function kbuffer_timestamp() returns the timestamp of the current event of kbuf.

The function kbuffer_subbuf_timestamp() returns the timestamp for the sub-buffer that was loaded in kbuf. This usually is (but not guaranteed to be) the timestamp of the first event on the sub-buffer.

The function kbuffer_start_of_data() returns the offset of where the delta

kbuffer_read_event() returns the event that the kbuf descriptor is currently at, or NULL if the last event was passed (by kbuffer_next_event()).

kbuffer_next_event() returns the next event after the current event or NULL if there are no more events.

kbuffer_read_at_offset() returns the event at a given offset from the start of the sub-buffer stored in kbuf, or NULL if there exists no event. Note, offset only needs to be an offset that lands on the record, or is at the start of it. It does not need to be exactly at the beginning of the record.

kbuffer_missed_events() returns 0 if there were no missed events before loaded sub-buffer. Returns -1 if there were an unknown number of missed events, or if the number of missed events is known, that number will be returned.

kbuffer_event_size() returns the size of the data payload of the current event of kbuf.

kbuffer_curr_size() returns the size of the entire record of the current event of kbuf. This includes the size of the meta data for that record.

kbuf_curr_offset() returns the offset of the current record from the beginning of the kbuf sub-buffer.

kbuf_curr_index() returns the index of the current record from the beginning of the kbuf data section.
