PAPI_strerror (3) Linux Manual Page
PAPI_strerror –
Returns a string describing the PAPI error code.
Synopsis
Detailed Description
C Interface:- #include <papi.h>
char * PAPI_strerror( int errorCode ;)
Parameters:
- code — the error code to interpret
Return values:
- *error — a pointer to the error string.
NULL — the input error code to PAPI_strerror() is invalid.
PAPI_strerror() returns a pointer to the error message corresponding to the error code code. If the call fails the function returns the NULL pointer. This function is not implemented in Fortran.
Example:
* int ret;
* int EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
* int native = 0x0;
* char error_str[PAPI_MAX_STR_LEN];
*
* ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet);
* if (ret != PAPI_OK)
* {
* fprintf(stderr, "PAPI error %d: %s, ret, PAPI_strerror(retval));
* exit(1);
* }
* // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
* ret = PAPI_add_event(EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS);
* if (ret != PAPI_OK)
* {
* PAPI_perror( "PAPI_add_event");
* fprintf(stderr,"PAPI_error %d: %s, ret, error_str);
* exit(1);
* }
* // Start counting
* ret = PAPI_start(EventSet);
* if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
