PAPI_native(3)			     PAPI			PAPI_native(3)

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.
