<p>Transforms trace data and makes an event record out of it.</p>
<p>See <c>erlang:trace/3</c> for more info about the semantics of the
trace data.</p>
<p>An event record consists of the following fields:</p>
<taglist>
<tag><em>detail_level</em></tag>
<item><p>Noise has a high level as opposed to essentials.</p></item>
<tag><em>trace_ts</em></tag>
<item><p>Time when the trace was generated. Same as
event_ts if omitted in trace data.</p></item>
<tag><em>event_ts</em></tag>
<item><p>Time when the event record was created.</p></item>
<tag><em>from</em></tag>
<item><p>From actor, such as sender of a message.</p></item>
<tag><em>to</em></tag>
<item><p>To actor, such as receiver of message.</p></item>
<tag><em>label</em></tag>
<item><p>Label intended to provide a brief event summary.</p></item>
<tag><em>contents</em></tag>
<item><p>All nitty gritty details of the event.</p></item>
</taglist>
<p>See <c>et:trace_me/4</c>and <c>et:trace_me/5</c> for details.</p>
<p>Returns:</p>
<taglist>
<tag><em>{true, Event}</em></tag>
<item><p>where Event is an #event{} record representing the
trace data</p></item>
<tag><em>true</em></tag>
<item><p>means that the trace data already is an event
record and that it is valid as it is. No transformation is
needed.</p></item>
<tag><em>false</em></tag>
<item><p>means that the trace data is uninteresting and
should be dropped</p></item>
