+================
+
+NAME
+----
+tep_filter_add_filter_str - Adds a new rule to a filter.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+enum tep_errno *tep_filter_add_filter_str*(struct tep_event_filter pass:[*]_filter_, const char pass:[*]_filter_str_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_filter_add_filter_str()_ function adds a new rule to the _filter_. The 
+_filter_str_ argument is the filter string, that contains the rule.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_filter_add_filter_str()_ function returns 0 if the rule was 
+successfully added or a negative error code.  Use _tep_filter_strerror()_ to see 
+actual error message in case of an error.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+struct tep_event_filter *filter = tep_filter_alloc(tep);
+...
+int ret;
+char errstr[200];
+ret = tep_filter_add_filter_str(filter, "sched/sched_wakeup:target_cpu==1"); 
+if(ret < 0) {
+	tep_filter_strerror(filter, ret, errstr, sizeof(errstr));
+	/* Failed to add a new rule to the filter, the error string is in errstr */
+}
+...
