NAME         top

       tep_find_function, tep_find_function_address,
       tep_find_function_info - Find function name / start address.

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <event-parse.h>

       const char *tep_find_function(struct tep_handle *tep, unsigned long long addr);
       unsigned long long tep_find_function_address(struct tep_handle *tep, unsigned long long addr);
       int tep_find_function_info(struct tep_handle *tep, unsigned long long addr, const char **name,
                                  unsigned long long *start, unsigned long *size);

DESCRIPTION         top

       These functions can be used to find function name and start
       address, by given address. The given address does not have to be
       exact, it will select the function that would contain it.

       The tep_find_function() function returns the function name, which
       contains the given address addr. The tep argument is the trace
       event parser context.

       The tep_find_function_address() function returns the function
       start address, by given address addr. The addr does not have to
       be exact, it will select the function that would contain it. The
       tep argument is the trace event parser context.

       The tep_find_function_info() function retrieves the name,
       starting address (start), and the function text size of the
       function at address, if it is found. Note, if the tep handle has
       a function resolver (used by perf), then size is set to zero.

RETURN VALUE         top

       The tep_find_function() function returns the function name, or
       NULL in case it cannot be found.

       The tep_find_function_address() function returns the function
       start address, or 0 in case it cannot be found.

       The tep_find_function_info() function returns 1 if a function is
       found for the given address, or 0 if it is not.
