NAME

       tracefs_find_cid_pid, tracefs_instance_find_cid_pid, tracefs_time_conversion - helper
       functions to handle tracing guests

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tracefs.h>

       char *tracefs_find_cid_pid(int cid);
       char *tracefs_instance_find_cid_pid(struct tracefs_instance *instance, int cid);
       int tracefs_time_conversion(int cpu, int *shift, int *multi, long long *offset);

DESCRIPTION

       The tracefs_find_cid_pid() will use tracing to follow the wakeups of connecting to the
       given cid in order to find the pid of the guest thread that belongs to the vsocket cid. It
       will then read the proc file system to find the thread leader, and it will return the pid
       of the thread leader.

       The tracefs_instance_find_cid_pid() is the same as tracefs_find_cid_pid() but defines the
       instance to use to perform the tracing in. If NULL it will use the top level buffer to
       perform the tracing.

       The tracefs_time_conversion() will return the values used by the kernel to convert the raw
       time stamp counter into nanoseconds for the given cpu. Pointers for shift, multi and
       offset can be NULL to be ignored, otherwise they are set with the shift, multiplier and
       offset repectively.

RETURN VALUE

       Both tracefs_find_cid_pid() and tracefs_instance_find_cid_pid() will return the pid of the
       guest main thread that belongs to the cid, or -1 on error (or not found).
