@brief CTF IR event.

@code
#include <babeltrace/ctf-ir/event.h>
@endcode

A CTF IR <strong><em>event</em></strong> is a container of event
fields:

- <strong>Stream event header</strong> field, described by the
  <em>stream event header field type</em> of a
  \link ctfirstreamclass CTF IR stream class\endlink.
- <strong>Stream event context</strong> field, described by the
  <em>stream event context field type</em> of a stream class.
- <strong>Event context</strong> field, described by the
  <em>event context field type</em> of a
  \link ctfireventclass CTF IR event class\endlink.
- <strong>Event payload</strong>, described by the
  <em>event payload field type</em> of an event class.

As a reminder, here's the structure of a CTF packet:

@imgpacketstructure

You can create a CTF IR event \em from a
\link ctfireventclass CTF IR event class\endlink with
bt_ctf_event_create(). The event class you use to create an event
object becomes its parent.

If the \link ctfirtraceclass CTF IR trace class\endlink of an event
object (parent of its \link ctfirstreamclass CTF IR stream class\endlink,
which is the parent of its event class) was created by a
\link ctfirwriter CTF IR writer\endlink object, then the only possible
action you can do with this event object is to append it to a
\link ctfirstream CTF IR stream\endlink with
bt_ctf_stream_append_event(). Otherwise, you can create an event
notification with bt_notification_event_create(). The event you pass
to this function \em must have an attached packet object first.

You can attach a \link ctfirpacket CTF IR packet object\endlink to an
event object with bt_ctf_event_set_packet().

A CTF IR event has a mapping of
\link ctfirclockvalue CTF IR clock values\endlink. A clock value is
an instance of a specific
\link ctfirclockclass CTF IR clock class\endlink when the event is
emitted. You can set an event object's clock value with
bt_ctf_event_set_clock_value().

As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR event objects have
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting">reference
counts</a>. See \ref refs to learn more about the reference counting
management of Babeltrace objects.

bt_notification_event_create() \em freezes its event parameter on
success. You cannot modify a frozen event object: it is considered
immutable, except for \link refs reference counting\endlink.
