Description

18       papi_decode is a PAPI utility program that converts the PAPI presets
19       for the existing library into a comma separated value format that can
20       then be viewed or modified in spreadsheet applications or text editors,
21       and can be supplied to PAPI_encode_events (3) as a way of adding or
22       modifying event definitions for specialized applications. The format
23       for the csv output consists of a line of field names, followed by a
24       blank line, followed by one line of comma separated values for each
25       event contained in the preset table. A portion of this output (for
26       Pentium 4) is shown below:
