[PATCH 1/6] libtraceevent: Add tep_get_sub_buffer_commit_offset()

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Add a function that retrieves the offset on the sub-buffer to find where the
"commit" variable of the sub buffer is located.

 DESCRIPTION

 sub buffers. This returns the size of those buffers.
 
+The *tep_get_sub_buffer_commit_offset()* returns the offset on the sub buffer

 RETURN VALUE

 The *tep_get_page_size()* function returns size of the memory page, in bytes.
