.SH "NAME"
tep_find_function, tep_find_function_address, tep_find_function_info \- Find function name / start address\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fB#include <event\-parse\&.h>\fR

const char *\fBtep_find_function\fR(struct tep_handle *\fItep\fR, unsigned long long \fIaddr\fR);
unsigned long long \fBtep_find_function_address\fR(struct tep_handle *\fItep\fR, unsigned long long \fIaddr\fR);
int \fBtep_find_function_info\fR(struct tep_handle *\fItep\fR, unsigned long long \fIaddr\fR, const char **\fIname\fR,

.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
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\&.
.sp
The \fBtep_find_function()\fR function returns the function name, which contains the given address \fIaddr\fR\&. The \fItep\fR argument is the trace event parser context\&.
.sp
The \fBtep_find_function_address()\fR function returns the function start address, by given address \fIaddr\fR\&. The \fIaddr\fR does not have to be exact, it will select the function that would contain it\&. The \fItep\fR argument is the trace event parser context\&.
.sp
The \fBtep_find_function_info()\fR function retrieves the \fIname\fR, starting address (\fIstart\fR), and the function text \fIsize\fR of the function at \fIaddress\fR, if it is found\&. Note, if the \fItep\fR handle has a function resolver (used by perf), then \fIsize\fR is set to zero\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The \fBtep_find_function()\fR function returns the function name, or NULL in case it cannot be found\&.
.sp
The \fBtep_find_function_address()\fR function returns the function start address, or 0 in case it cannot be found\&.
.sp
The \fBtep_find_function_info()\fR function returns 1 if a function is found for the given address, or 0 if it is not\&.
