Detailed Description

C Interface:

If the event CANNOT be counted, the function returns an error code. This function also can be used to check the syntax of native and user events.

Parameters:

EventName -- a defined event such as PAPI_TOT_INS.

Return values:

PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
PAPI_ENOEVNT The PAPI preset is not available on the underlying hardware.

Examples

int retval;
// Initialize the library
retval = PAPI_library_init(PAPI_VER_CURRENT);
if (retval != PAPI_VER_CURRENT) {


  fprintf(stderr,


  exit(1); 
}
if (PAPI_query_named_event("PAPI_TOT_INS") != PAPI_OK) {


  fprintf(stderr,


  exit(1);
}
