       Convert a name to a numeric hardware event code.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

       C Interface:
           #include <papi.h>
           int PAPI_event_name_to_code( const char * EventName, int * EventCode );

       PAPI_event_name_to_code is used to translate an ASCII PAPI event name into an integer PAPI
       event code.

       Parameters:
           *EventCode The numeric code for the event.
           *EventName A string containing the event name as listed in PAPI_presets or discussed
           in PAPI_native.

       Return values:
           PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
           PAPI_ENOTPRESET The hardware event specified is not a valid PAPI preset.
           PAPI_ENOINIT The PAPI library has not been initialized.
           PAPI_ENOEVNT The hardware event is not available on the underlying hardware.

       Examples:

           int EventCode, EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
           // Convert to integer
           if ( PAPI_event_name_to_code( "PAPI_TOT_INS", &EventCode ) != PAPI_OK )
           handle_error( 1 );
           // Create the EventSet
           if ( PAPI_create_eventset( &EventSet ) != PAPI_OK )
           handle_error( 1 );
           // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
           if ( PAPI_add_event( EventSet, EventCode ) != PAPI_OK )
           handle_error( 1 );
