Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/7] tracing: Split the event string parsing logic into a dedicated function
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 16:07:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813-tracing-cli-event-filter-v1-4-57c4e8029c86@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260813-tracing-cli-event-filter-v1-0-57c4e8029c86@linutronix.de>
That new function can be tested with a KUnit test to prevent regressions
when adding new fields to the format.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>
