Hi Cristina,
I just had a look at the series. You have all cases I regard necessary
covered. There are however a few cases which probably qualify as error
messages, too. Please see inline.
However, for my personal taste, this could have been merged all in a
single patch. Especially the third patch should have been included in
this one (as during review, people certainly think that you missed the
second line, just to find it fixed two patches later).

My preference would even be to print it all in just one fprintf.

At line 410 we have a block:
read_size = read(fp, data, toread * scan_size);
if (read_size < 0) {
if (errno == EAGAIN) {
printf("nothing available\n");
continue;
I'm tempted to say,that this should go to stderr, as well. Any opinions?

At line 217:
if (!event_is_known(event)) {
printf("Unknown event: time: %lld, id: %llx\n",
event->timestamp, event->id);
return;
Better have this on stderr, as well?

A similar borderline case as above in line 301:
ret = read(event_fd, &event, sizeof(event));
if (ret == -1) {
if (errno == EAGAIN) {
printf("nothing available\n");
continue;
