Let's add:

#include <unistd.h>

> +...
> +struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
> +...
> +	int page_size = 4096;

	int page_size = getpagesize();

	tep_set_page_size(tep, page_size);

	printf("The page size for this machine is %d\n", tep_get_page_size(tep));

We don't want people thinking our code is buggy ;-)

+NAME

+tep_get_page_size, tep_set_page_size - Get / set the size of a memory page on
+the machine, where the trace is generated
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+--
+*#include <event-parse.h>*
+
+int *tep_get_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
+void *tep_set_page_size*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _page_size_);
+--
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The _tep_get_page_size()_ function returns the size of a memory page on
+the machine, where the trace is generated. The _tep_ argument is trace
+event parser context.
+
+The _tep_set_page_size()_ function stores in the _tep_ context the size of a
+memory page on the machine, where the trace is generated.
+The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context.
+The _page_size_ argument is the size of a memory page, in bytes.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The _tep_get_page_size()_ function returns size of the memory page, in bytes.
+
+EXAMPLE
+-------
+[source,c]
+--
+#include <event-parse.h>
+...
+struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
+...
+	int page_size = 4096;
+	tep_set_page_size(tep, page_size);
