SYNOPSIS

12       C Interface
13       #include <papi.h>
14       int PAPI_read_counters(long_long *values, int array_len);
15       int PAPI_accum_counters(long_long *values, int array_len);
16       Fortran Interface
17       #include fpapi.h
18       PAPIF_read_counters(C_LONG_LONG(*) values, C_INT array_len, C_INT check)
19       PAPIF_accum_counters(C_LONG_LONG(*) values, C_INT array_len, C_INT check)

DESCRIPTION

23       PAPI_read_counters() copies the event counters into the array values
24        The counters are reset and left running after the call.
25
26       PAPI_accum_counters() adds the event counters into the array values
27        The counters are reset and left running after the call.
28
29       These  calls  assume  an  initialized PAPI library and a properly added
30       event set.

ARGUMENTS

34       *values -- an array to hold the counter values of the counting events
35
36       array_len -- the number of items in the *events array
37

RETURN VALUES

39       On success, these functions return PAPI_OK.
40        On error, a non-zero error code is returned.

42

ERRORS

44       PAPI_EINVAL
45              One or more of the arguments is invalid.
46
47       PAPI_ESYS
48              A system or C library call failed inside  PAPI,  see  the  errno
49              variable.

EXAMPLES

53         do_100events();
54         if (PAPI_read_counters(values, num_hwcntrs) != PAPI_OK)
55           handle_error(1);
56         /* values[0] now equals 100 */
57         do_100events();
58         if (PAPI_accum_counters(values, num_hwcntrs) != PAPI_OK)
59           handle_error(1);
60         /* values[0] now equals 200 */
61         values[0] = -100;
62         do_100events();
63         if (PAPI_accum_counters(values, num_hwcntrs) != PAPI_OK)
64           handle_error(1);
65         /* values[0] now equals 0 */
