APIs for printing various trace event information were redesigned to
be more simple. However, the main libtraceevent man page was not updated
with those changes. The documentation is updated to describe the new
event print API.

-NAME
-----
-tep_set_latency_format, tep_is_latency_format, tep_data_latency_format -
-"latency output" format APIs.
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
---
-*#include <event-parse.h>*
-
-void *tep_set_latency_format*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, int _lat_);
-bool *tep_is_latency_format*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_);
-void *tep_data_latency_format*(struct tep_handle pass:[*]_tep_, struct trace_seq pass:[*]_s_, struct tep_record pass:[*]_record_);

-DESCRIPTION
------------
-"Latency output" format prints information about interrupts being disabled,
-soft irq being disabled, the "need_resched" flag being set and preempt count.
-This information is recorded with every event, but by default is not printed.
-
-The _tep_set_latency_format()_ function enables the "latency output" printing.
-The _tep_ argument is trace event parser context. The _lat_ argument can be
-zero, for "latency output" disabled, or non zero for "latency output" enabled.
-Information is displayed with 6 characters. When a field is zero, or N/A,
-a pass:['.'] is printed. Example:
-[verse]
---
-  <idle>-0       0d.h1 106467.859747: function:    ktime_get <-- tick_check_idle
---
-The 0d.h1. denotes this information. The first character is never a pass:['.']
-and represents what CPU the trace was recorded on (CPU 0). The pass:['d']
-denotes that interrupts were disabled. The pass:['.'] is "need_resched" flag.
-If it is set, the character ['N'] would be displayed. The pass:['h'] means that
-this was called inside an interrupt handler. The pass:['1'] is the preemption
-disabled (preempt_count) was set to one. See 'LATENCY FORMAT' section.
-
-The _tep_is_latency_format()_ function gets if "latency output" is enabled.
-
-The _tep_data_latency_format()_ function parses out the latency format from
-_record_ and writes it into _s_. The _tep_ argument is the trace event parser
-context.
-
-This "Latency output" setting affects output of _tep_print_event_task()_
-and _tep_print_event_time()_ APIs.
-
-LATENCY FORMAT
---------------
-The latency format displays 5 or more fields:
-[verse]
---
-CPU #, interrupt state, scheduling state, current context, and preemption count.
-
-Field 1 is the CPU number (starting with zero).
-
-Field 2 is the interrupt enabled state:
-  d : Interrupts are disabled
-  . : Interrupts are enabled
-  X : The architecture does not support this information
-
-Field 3 is the "need resched" state.
-  N : The task is set to call the scheduler when possible, as another
-      higher priority task may need to be scheduled in.
-  . : The task is not set to call the scheduler.
-
-Field 4 is the context state.
-  . : Normal context
-  s : Soft interrupt context
-  h : Hard interrupt context
-  H : Hard interrupt context which triggered during soft interrupt context.
-  z : NMI context
-  Z : NMI context which triggered during hard interrupt context
-
-Field 5 is the preemption count.
-  . : The preempt count is zero.
-
-  On preemptible kernels (where the task can be scheduled out in
-  arbitrary locations while in kernel context), The preempt count,
-  when non zero, will prevent the kernel from scheduling out the
-  current task. The preempt count number is displayed when it is not
-  zero.
---
-Depending on the kernel, it may show other fields (lock depth,
-or migration disabled, which are unique to specialized kernels).
-
-RETURN VALUE
-------------
-
-The _tep_is_latency_format()_ function returns true if "latency output"
-is enabled, or false if it is disabled.
-
-EXAMPLE
--------
-[source,c]
---
-#include <event-parse.h>
-...
-struct tep_handle *tep = tep_alloc();
-struct trace_seq seq;
-trace_seq_init(&seq);
-...
-	tep_set_latency_format(tep, 1);
-...
-	if (tep_is_latency_format(tep)) {
-		/* latency output format is enabled */
-	} else {
-		/* latency output format is disabled */
-	}
-...
-void process_record(struct tep_record *record)
-{
-	/* Write latency information in seq */
-	tep_data_latency_format(tep, &seq, record);
