Thank you for your information. That helped me a lot.
Now I've another question about it, is there a file or header where I can find all the event ID's and their parameters ?
I know that I can find some informations about the parameters in the xxx-trace.c files but is there another way to get this and especially the ID's ?

Thanks in advance
Jerome
