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.
