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(5) to allow a controlling process to manipulate 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 construct
tools that can manipulate CPU performance counters in other processes.
The
cputrack(1) utility is an example of such a tool.
