@brief
    Trace event.

An <strong><em>event</em></strong> represents a trace event record.

An event is an instance of an \bt_ev_cls:

@image html trace-structure.png

In the illustration above, notice that:

- A \bt_stream is a conceptual \ref api-msg-seq "sequence of messages",
  some of which are \bt_p_ev_msg.
- An event message contains an \bt_ev.
- An event is an instance of an event class.
- The \ref api-tir-ev-prop-payload "payload field" of an event is an
  instance of the \ref api-tir-ev-cls-prop-p-fc "payload field class"
  which an event class contains.

Borrow the class of an event with bt_event_borrow_class() and
bt_event_borrow_class_const().

An event is a \ref api-tir "trace IR" data object.

You cannot directly create an event: there's no
<code>bt_event_create()</code> function. The \bt_name library
creates an event within an \bt_ev_msg from an \bt_ev_cls.
Therefore, to fill the fields of an event, you must first
borrow the event from an event message with
bt_message_event_borrow_event().

An event is a \ref api-fund-unique-object "unique object": it belongs to
an \bt_ev_msg.

Some library functions \ref api-fund-freezing "freeze" events on
success. The documentation of those functions indicate this
postcondition.

The type of an event is #bt_event.

An event conceptually belongs to a \bt_stream. Borrow the stream of an
event with bt_event_borrow_stream() and bt_event_borrow_stream_const().

If the event's stream's class
\ref api-tir-stream-cls-prop-supports-pkt "supports packets",
the event also belongs to a \bt_pkt. In that case, borrow the packet of
an event with bt_event_borrow_packet() and
bt_event_borrow_packet_const().

Because a stream or a packet could contain millions of events, there are
no actual links from a stream or from a packet to its events.

<h1>Properties</h1>

An event has the following properties:

<dl>
  <dt>\anchor api-tir-ev-prop-payload Payload field</dt>
  <dd>
    Event's payload \bt_field.

    The payload of an event contains its main trace data.

    The \ref api-tir-fc "class" of an event's payload field is set
    at the event's \ref api-tir-ev-cls "class" level. See
    bt_event_class_set_payload_field_class(),
    bt_event_class_borrow_payload_field_class(), and
    bt_event_class_borrow_payload_field_class_const().

    Use bt_event_borrow_payload_field() and
    bt_event_borrow_payload_field_const().
  </dd>

  <dt>\anchor api-tir-ev-prop-spec-ctx Specific context field</dt>
  <dd>
    Event's specific context \bt_field.

    The specific context of an event contains
    any contextual data of which the layout is specific to the
    event's \ref api-tir-ev-cls "class" and which does not belong to the
    payload.

    The \ref api-tir-fc "class" of an event's specific context field is
    set at the event's \ref api-tir-ev-cls "class" level. See
    bt_event_class_set_specific_context_field_class()
    bt_event_class_borrow_specific_context_field_class(),
    and bt_event_class_borrow_specific_context_field_class_const()

    Use bt_event_borrow_specific_context_field() and
    bt_event_borrow_specific_context_field_const().
  </dd>

  <dt>\anchor api-tir-ev-prop-common-ctx Common context field</dt>
  <dd>
    Event's common context \bt_field.

    The common context of an event contains contextual data of which the
    layout is common to all the \bt_p_ev_cls of the
    event's stream's \ref api-tir-stream-cls "class".

    The \ref api-tir-fc "class" of an event's common context field is set
    at the event's \bt_stream_cls level. See
    bt_stream_class_set_event_common_context_field_class()
    bt_stream_class_borrow_event_common_context_field_class(),
    and bt_stream_class_borrow_event_common_context_field_class_const().

    Use bt_event_borrow_common_context_field() and
    bt_event_borrow_common_context_field_const().
