pm_get_program_group Subroutine

Purpose

Retrieves the Performance Monitor settings for the counting group to which a target thread belongs.

Library

Performance Monitor APIs Library (libpmapi.a)

Syntax


#include <pmapi.h>

int pm_get_program_group ( pid, tid, *prog)
pid_t pid;
tid_t tid;
pm_prog_t *prog;

Description

The pm_get_program_group subroutine retrieves the Performance Monitor settings for the counting group to which a target kernel thread belongs. The thread must be stopped and must be part of a debuggee process under the control of the calling process. This includes mode information and the events being counted, which are in a list of event identifiers. The identifiers come from the lists returned by the pm_init subroutine.

The counting mode includes the user mode and kernel mode, and the current counting state.

If the list includes an event which can be used with a threshold (as indicated by the pm_init subroutine), a threshold value is also returned.

Parameters

pid Process identifier of target thread. The target process must be an argument of a debug process.
tid Thread identifier of the target thread.
*prog Returns which Performance Monitor events and modes are set. Supported modes are:
PM_USER
Counting process running in user mode
PM_KERNEL
Counting process running kernel mode
PM_COUNT
Counting is on
PM_PROCESS
Process level counting group

Return Values

0 No errors occurred.
Positive error code Refer to the pm_error (pm_error Subroutine) subroutine to decode the error code.

Error Codes
