NAME¶

pfm_get_version - get performance monitoring library version

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>

int pfm_get_version(unsigned int *version);

DESCRIPTION¶

This function can be called at any time to get the revision level of the library. The version is encoded into an unsigned integer and returned in the version argument. A revision number is composed of two fields: a major number and a minor number. Both can be extracted from the returned argument using macros provided in the header file:

PFMLIB_MAJ_VERSION(v)

returns the major number encoded in v.

PFMLIB_MIN_VERSION(v)

returns the minor number encoded in v.

RETURN¶

The function returns whether or not it was successful. A return value of PFMLIB_SUCCESS indicates success, otherwise the value is the error code.

ERRORS¶

PFMLIB_ERR_INVAL

the argument is invalid, most likely a NULL pointer.
