PMC_CONFIGURE_LOGFILE(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PMC_CONFIGURE_LOGFILE(3)

NAME
     pmc_configure_logfile, pmc_flush_logfile, pmc_writelog — log file manage‐
     ment

LIBRARY
     Performance Counters Library (libpmc, -lpmc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pmc.h>

     int
     pmc_configure_logfile(int fd);

     int
     pmc_flush_logfile(void);

     int
     pmc_writelog(uint32_t userdata);

DESCRIPTION
     The functions manage logging of hwpmc(4) events.

     Function pmc_configure_logfile() is used to turn on and turn off logging.
     If argument fd is a valid file handle returned by a prior call to open(2)
     or socket(2) then performance events will be logged to the file corre‐
     sponding to the specified handle.	If the value of argument fd is -1 then
     logging will be stopped after any pending data is flushed.

     Function pmc_flush_logfile() will force all log data queued inside the
     hwpmc(4) driver to be written out.

     Function pmc_writelog() will append a log entry containing the value of
     argument userdata to the log file.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, the value 0 is returned; otherwise the
     value -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
     error.

			process due to system limits being reached.

			file already configured.

     [EINVAL]		Function pmc_configure_logfile() was called with an
			argument of -1 without a log file being previously
			configured.
