15 This function can be called at any time to adjust the level of debug of
16 the library. You can adjust the verbosity or the debug level. In both
17 cases, extra output will be generated on the standard output when the
18 library gets called. This can be useful to figure out how the PMC reg‐
19 isters are initialized.

21 The opt argument is a pointer to a pfmlib_options_t structure which is
22 defined as follows:
23
24 typedef struct {
25 unsigned int pfm_debug:1;
26 unsigned int pfm_verbose:1;
27 } pfmlib_options_t;
28
29 Setting pfm_debug to 1 will enable debug messages whereas setting
30 pfm_verbose will enable verbose messages.
31
33 The function returns whether or not it was successful.A return value of
34 PFMLIB_SUCCESS indicates success, otherwise the value is the error
35 code.
36
38 PFMLIB_ERR_INVAL
39 the argument is invalid, most likely a NULL pointer.
