# NAME

pt_pkt_get_offset, pt_pkt_get_sync_offset - get an Intel(R) Processor Trace

packet decoder's current/synchronization trace buffer offset

# SYNOPSIS

| **\#include `<intel-pt.h>`**

|

| **int pt_pkt_get_offset(struct pt_packet_decoder \**decoder*,**

|                       **uint64_t \**offset*);**

| **int pt_pkt_get_sync_offset(struct pt_packet_decoder \**decoder*,**

|                            **uint64_t \**offset*);**

Link with *-lipt*.

# DESCRIPTION

**pt_pkt_get_offset**() provides *decoder*'s current position as offset in bytes

from the beginning of *decoder*'s trace buffer in the unsigned integer variable

pointed to by *offset*.

**pt_pkt_get_sync_offset**() provides *decoder*'s last synchronization point as

offset in bytes from the beginning of *decoder*'s trace buffer in the unsigned

integer variable pointed to by *offset*.

# RETURN VALUE

Both functions return zero on success or a negative *pt_error_code* enumeration

constant in case of an error.

# ERRORS

pte_invalid

:   The *decoder* or *offset* argument is NULL.

pte_nosync

:   *decoder* has not been synchronized onto the trace stream.  Use

    **pt_pkt_sync_forward**(3), **pt_pkt_sync_backward**(3), or

    **pt_pkt_sync_set**(3) to synchronize *decoder*.
