+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This set of functions can be used to extract common fields from a record.
+
+The _tep_data_type()_ function gets the event id from the record _rec_. It reads
+the "common_type" field. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_data_pid()_ function gets the process id from the record _rec_. It reads
+the "common_pid" field. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_data_preempt_count()_ function gets the preemption count from the record
+_rec_. It reads the "common_preempt_count" field. The _tep_ argument is the
+trace event parser context.
+
+The _tep_data_flags()_ function gets the latency flags from the record _rec_.
+It reads the "common_flags" field. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser
+context. Supported latency flags are:
+[verse]
+--
+ _TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_OFF_, Interrupts are disabled.
+ _TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPOR_, Reading IRQ flag is not supported by the architecture.
+ _TRACE_FLAG_NEED_RESCHED_, Task needs rescheduling.
+ _TRACE_FLAG_HARDIRQ_, Hard IRQ is running.
+ _TRACE_FLAG_SOFTIRQ_, Soft IRQ is running.
+--
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_data_type()_ function returns an integer, representing the event id.
+
+The _tep_data_pid()_ function returns an integer, representing the process id
+
+The _tep_data_preempt_count()_ function returns an integer, representing the
+preemption count.
+
+The _tep_data_flags()_ function returns an integer, representing the latency
+flags. Look at the _trace_flag_type_ enum for supported flags.
+
+All these functions in case of an error return a negative integer.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+void process_record(struct tep_record *record)
+{
+ int data;
+
+ data = tep_data_type(tep, record);
+ if (data >= 0) {
+ /* Got the ID of the event */
+ }
+
+ data = tep_data_pid(tep, record);
+ if (data >= 0) {
+ /* Got the process ID */
+ }
+
+ data = tep_data_preempt_count(tep, record);
+ if (data >= 0) {
+ /* Got the preemption count */
+ }
+
+ data = tep_data_flags(tep, record);
+ if (data >= 0) {
+ /* Got the latency flags */
+ }
+}
