PAPI_detach(3) PAPI PAPI_detach(3)NAMEPAPI_detach-
Detach PAPI event set from previously specified thread id and restore
to executing thread.
SYNOPSISDetailed Description
C Interface:
#include <papi.h>
int PAPI_detach( int EventSet, unsigned long tid );
PAPI_detach is a wrapper function that calls PAPI_set_opt to allow PAPI
to monitor performance counts on a thread other than the one currently
executing. This is sometimes referred to as third party monitoring.
PAPI_attach connects the specified EventSet to the specifed thread;
PAPI_detach breaks that connection and restores the EventSet to the
original executing thread.
Parameters:
EventSet An integer handle for a PAPI EventSet as created by
PAPI_create_eventset.
tid A thread id as obtained from, for example, PAPI_list_threads or
PAPI_thread_id.
Return values:
PAPI_ECMP This feature is unsupported on this component.
PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
PAPI_ENOEVST The event set specified does not exist.
PAPI_EISRUN The event set is currently counting events.
Examples:
int EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
unsigned long pid;
pid = fork( );
if ( pid <= 0 )
exit( 1 );
if ( PAPI_create_eventset( &EventSet ) != PAPI_OK )
exit( 1 );
// Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
if ( PAPI_add_event( EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS ) != PAPI_OK )
exit( 1 );
// Attach this EventSet to the forked process
if ( PAPI_attach( EventSet, pid ) != PAPI_OK )
exit( 1 );
