libpctx(3LIB) Interface Libraries libpctx(3LIB) NAME
libpctx - process context library SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lpctx [ library... ] DESCRIPTION
Functions in this library provide a simple means to access the underlying facilities of proc(4) to allow a controlling process to manipu- late the state of a controlled process. This library is primarily for use in conjunction with the libcpc(3LIB) library. Used together, these libraries allow developers to con- struct tools that can manipulate CPU performance counters in other processes. The cputrack(1) utility is an example of such a tool. INTERFACES
The shared object libpctx.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces. pctx_capture pctx_create pctx_release pctx_run pctx_set_events FILES
