       tep_read_number_field - Reads a number from raw data.
       #include <event-parse.h>
       int tep_read_number_field(struct tep_format_field *field, const void *data, unsigned long long *value);
       The tep_read_number_field() function reads the value of the field
       from the raw data and stores it in the value. The function sets
       the value according to the endianness of the raw data and the
       current machine and stores it in value.
       The tep_read_number_field() function retunrs 0 in case of success,
       or -1 in case of an error.
