PMC_NAME_OF_CAPABIL... FreeBSD Library Functions Manual	PMC_NAME_OF_CAPABIL...

NAME
     pmc_name_of_capability, pmc_name_of_class,	pmc_name_of_cputype,
     pmc_name_of_disposition, pmc_name_of_event, pmc_name_of_mode,
     pmc_name_of_state -- human	readable names for numeric constants used by
     pmc(3) and	hwpmc(4)

LIBRARY
     Performance Monitoring Counters Interface Library (libpmc,	-lpmc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <pmc.h>

     const char	*
     pmc_name_of_capability(enum pmc_caps pc);

     const char	*
     pmc_name_of_class(enum pmc_class pc);

     const char	*
     pmc_name_of_cputype(enum pmc_cputype ct);

     const char	*
     pmc_name_of_disposition(enum pmc_disp pd);

     const char	*
     pmc_name_of_event(enum pmc_event pe);

     const char	*
     pmc_name_of_mode(enum pmc_mode pm);

     const char	*
     pmc_name_of_state(enum pmc_state ps);

DESCRIPTION
     These convenience functions translate numeric constants used by the
     Performance Monitoring Counters Interface Library (libpmc,	-lpmc) to
     const char	* pointers to human readable representations of	their argu-
     ments.

     Function pmc_name_of_capability() translates a PMC	capability flag	given
     in	argument pc to a human readable	string.	 PMC capabilities are de-
     scribed in	pmc(3).

     Function pmc_name_of_class() translates the PMC class value specified in
     argument pc to a human readable name.  PMC	classes	are described in
     pmc(3).

     Function pmc_name_of_cputype() translates the CPU type value specified in
     argument ct to a human readable name.  CPU	types known to the library are
     described in pmc(3).

     Function pmc_name_of_disposition()	translates the PMC row disposition
     specified in argument pd to a human readable name.	 PMC row dispositions
     are described in hwpmc(4).

     Function pmc_name_of_event() translates the PMC event number specified by
     argument pe to a string.  PMC event names are documented in section EVENT
     SPECIFIERS	of pmc(3).

     Function pmc_name_of_mode() translates the	PMC mode specified by argument
     pm	to a human readable string.  PMC modes are described in	pmc(3).

     Function pmc_name_of_state() translates the value of argument ps to a hu-
     man readable name.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
     The returned pointers point to static storage inside the PMC library and
     should not	be freed by the	caller.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return a non-NULL pointer on successful completion.  In
     case of an	error, a NULL pointer is returned and the global variable
     errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     A call to these functions may fail	with the following errors:

     [EINVAL]		The function argument specified	an invalid value.
