22*4882a593SmuzhiyunDESCRIPTION
23*4882a593Smuzhiyun-----------
24*4882a593SmuzhiyunThese functions can be used to find a field and retrieve its value.
25*4882a593Smuzhiyun
26*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe _tep_get_any_field_val()_ function searches in the _record_ for a field
27*4882a593Smuzhiyunwith _name_, part of the _event_. If the field is found, its value is stored in
28*4882a593Smuzhiyun_val_. If there is an error and _err_ is not zero, then an error string is
29*4882a593Smuzhiyunwritten into _s_.
30*4882a593Smuzhiyun
31*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe _tep_get_common_field_val()_ function does the same as
32*4882a593Smuzhiyun_tep_get_any_field_val()_, but searches only in the common fields. This works
33*4882a593Smuzhiyunfor any event as all events include the common fields.
34*4882a593Smuzhiyun
35*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe _tep_get_field_val()_ function does the same as _tep_get_any_field_val()_,
36*4882a593Smuzhiyunbut searches only in the event specific fields.
37*4882a593Smuzhiyun
38*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe _tep_get_field_raw()_ function searches in the _record_ for a field with
39*4882a593Smuzhiyun_name_, part of the _event_. If the field is found, a pointer to where the field
40*4882a593Smuzhiyunexists in the record's raw data is returned. The size of the data is stored in
41*4882a593Smuzhiyun_len_. If there is an error and _err_ is not zero, then an error string is
42*4882a593Smuzhiyunwritten into _s_.
43*4882a593Smuzhiyun
44*4882a593SmuzhiyunRETURN VALUE
45*4882a593Smuzhiyun------------
46*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe _tep_get_any_field_val()_, _tep_get_common_field_val()_ and
47*4882a593Smuzhiyun_tep_get_field_val()_ functions return 0 on success, or -1 in case of an error.
48*4882a593Smuzhiyun
49*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe _tep_get_field_raw()_ function returns a pointer to field's raw data, and
50*4882a593Smuzhiyunplaces the length of this data in _len_. In case of an error NULL is returned.
