papi_native(3) - Linux man page
Name
PAPI_native - Accessing PAPI native events
Synopsis
#include <papi.h>
Description
In addition to the predefined PAPI preset events, the PAPI library also exposes a majority of the events
native to each platform. Native events form the basic building blocks for PAPI presets. They can also be used directly to access functions specific to a given
platform.
Since native events are by definition specific to each platform, the names for these events are unique to each platform. Native events for a given
platform can be discovered by combining the papi_enum_event(3) and papi_event_code_to_name(3) or
papi_get_event_info(3) functions.
Bugs
Not every native event on every platform can be represented through the native event interface. Occasionally,
exotic but valuable events are not represented. There is presently no method for representing these events in a PAPI event set.
