Synopsispapi_decode [-ah]
Descriptionpapi_decode is a PAPI utility program that converts the PAPI presets
for the existing library into a comma separated value format that can
then be viewed or modified in spreadsheet applications or text editors,
and can be supplied to PAPI_encode_events (3) as a way of adding or
modifying event definitions for specialized applications. The format
for the csv output consists of a line of field names, followed by a
blank line, followed by one line of comma separated values for each
event contained in the preset table. A portion of this output (for
Pentium 4) is shown below:
name,derived,postfix,short_descr,long_descr,note,[native,...]
PAPI_L1_ICM,NOT_DERIVED,,'L1I cache misses','Level 1 instruction cache misses',,BPU_fetch_request_TCMISS
