sysevent_get_class_name(SystemEEvent Librarysysevent_get_class_name(3SYSEVENT)NAME
sysevent_get_class_name, sysevent_get_subclass_name, sysevent_get_size,
sysevent_get_seq, sysevent_get_time - get class name, subclass name, ID
or buffer size of event
SYNOPSIS
cc [flag...] file ...-lsysevent [library...]
#include <libsysevent.h>
char *sysevent_get_class_name(sysevent_t *ev);
char *sysevent_get_subclass_name(sysevent_t *ev);
int sysevent_get_size(sysevent_t *ev);
uint64_t sysevent_get_seq(sysevent_t *ev);
void sysevent_get_time(sysevent_t *ev, hrtime_t *etimep);
PARAMETERS
ev handle to event
etimep pointer to high resolution event time variable
DESCRIPTION
The sysevent_get_class_name() and sysevent_get_subclass_name() func‐
tions return, respectively, the class and subclass names for the pro‐
vided event ev.
The sysevent_get_size() function returns the size of the event buffer,
ev.
The sysevent_get_seq() function returns a unique event sequence number
of event ev. The sequence number is reset on every system boot.
The sysevent_get_time() function writes the time the event was pub‐
lished into the variable pointed to by etimep. The event time is added
to the event just before it is put into the kernel internal event
queue.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Parse sysevent header information.
The following example parses sysevent header information from an appli‐
cation's event handler.
hrtime_t last_ev_time;
unit64_t last_ev_seq;
void
event_handler(sysevent_t *ev)
{
sysevent_t *new_ev;
int ev_sz;
hrtime_t ev_time;
uint64_t ev_seq;
/* Filter on class and subclass */
if (strcmp(EC_PRIV, sysevent_get_class_name(ev)) != 0) {
return;
} else if (strcmp("ESC_MYSUBCLASS,
sysevent_get_subclass_name(ev)) != 0) {
return;
}
/*
* Check for replayed sysevent, time must
* be greater than previously recorded.
*/
sysevent_get_event_time(ev, &ev_time);
ev_seq = sysevent_get_seq(ev);
if (ev_time < last_ev_time ||
(ev_time == last_ev_time && ev_seq <=
last_ev_seq)) {
return;
}
last_ev_time = ev_time;
last_ev_seq = ev_seq;
/* Store event for later processing */
ev_sz = sysevent_get_size(ev):
new_ev (sysevent_t *)malloc(ev_sz);
bcopy(ev, new_ev, ev_sz);
queue_event(new_ev);
}
