NAME

       PAPI_read - Read hardware counters from an event set.

SYNOPSIS

Detailed Description

       C Interface:
           #include <papi.h>
            int PAPI_read(int  EventSet, long_long * values );

       PAPI_read() copies the counters of the indicated event set into the provided array.

       The counters continue counting after the read.

       Note the differences between PAPI_read() and PAPI_accum(), specifically that PAPI_accum() resets the
       values array to zero.

       PAPI_read() assumes an initialized PAPI library and a properly added event set.

       Parameters
           EventSet -- an integer handle for a PAPI Event Set as created by PAPI_create_eventset()
           *values -- an array to hold the counter values of the counting events

       Return values
           PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
           PAPI_ESYS A system or C library call failed inside PAPI, see the errno variable.
           PAPI_ENOEVST The event set specified does not exist.

       Examples

           do_100events();
           if (PAPI_read(EventSet, values) != PAPI_OK)
              handle_error(1);
           // values[0] now equals 100
           do_100events();
           if (PAPI_accum(EventSet, values) != PAPI_OK)
              handle_error(1);
           // values[0] now equals 300
           values[0] = -100;
           do_100events();
           if (PAPI_accum(EventSet, values) != PAPI_OK)
               handle_error(1);
           // values[0] now equals 0
