NAME

       likwid-accessD  -  This tool forwards the access operations from LIKWID PerfMon tools to the MSR  and PCI
       device files

DESCRIPTION

       likwid-accessD is a command line application  that  opens  a  UNIX  file  socket  and  waits  for  access
       operations  from LIKWID tools that require access to the MSR and PCI device files. The MSR and PCI device
       files are only accessible for users with root privileges, therefore likwid-accessD requires the  suid-bit
       set  or  a suitable libcap setting.  Depending on the current system architecture, likwid-accessD permits
       only access to registers defined for the architecture.
