+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_get_header_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+
+--
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_get_header_page_size()_ function returns the size of a long integer,
+in kernel context. The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+This information is retrieved from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/header_page,
+ "commit" field.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_get_header_page_size()_ function returns the size of a long integer, 
+in bytes
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+	int lsize = tep_get_header_page_size(tep);
+	printf ("The size of a long in kernel context is %d bytes", lsize);
+...
