+.Sh NAME
+.Nm pmc_control ,
+.Nm pmc_get_info
+.Nd Hardware Performance Monitoring Interface
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include \*[Lt]sys/pmc.h\*[Gt]
+.Ft int
+.Fn pmc_control "int ctr" "int op" "void *argp"
+.Ft int
+.Fn pmc_get_info "int ctr" "int op" "void *argp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn pmc_get_info
+returns the number of counters in the system or information on a specified
+counter
+.Fa ctr .
+The possible values for
+.Fa op
+are:
+.Bl -tag -width width
+.It PMC_INFO_NCOUNTERS
+When querying the number of counters in the system,
+.Fa ctr
+is ignored and
+.Fa argp
+is of type
+.Em int * .
+Upon return, the integer pointed to by
+.Fa argp
+will contain the number of counters that are available in the system.
+.It PMC_INFO_COUNTER_VALUE
+When querying the value of a counter in the system,
+.Fa ctr
+refers to the counter being queried, and
+.Fa argp
+is of type
+.Em uint64_t * .
+Upon return, the 64-bit integer pointed to by
+.Fa argp
+will contain the value of the specified counter.
+.It PMC_INFO_ACCUMULATED_COUNTER_VALUE
+When querying the value of a counter in the system,
+.Fa ctr
+refers to the counter being queried, and
+.Fa argp
+is of type
+.Em uint64_t * .
+Upon return, the 64-bit integer pointed to by
+.Fa argp
+will contain the sum of the accumulated values of specified counter in
+all exited subprocesses of the current process.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Fn pmc_control
+manipulates the specified counter
+.Fa ctr
+in one of several fashions.  The
+.Fa op
+parameter determines the action taken by the kernel and also the interpretation of the
+.Fa argp
+parameter.  The possible values for
+.Fa op
+are:
+.Bl -tag -width width
+.It PMC_OP_START
+Starts the specified
+.Fa ctr
+running.  It must be preceded by a call with
+.Em PMC_OP_CONFIGURE .
+.Fa argp
+is ignored in this case and may be
+.Dv NULL .
+.It PMC_OP_STOP
+Stops the specified
+.Fa ctr
+from running.
+.Fa argp
+is ignored in this case and may be
+.Dv NULL .
+.It PMC_OP_CONFIGURE
+Configures the specified
+.Fa ctr
+prior to running.
+.Fa argp
+is a pointer to a
+.Em struct pmc_counter_cfg .
+.Bd -literal
+       struct pmc_counter_cfg {
+               pmc_evid_t      event_id;
+               pmc_ctr_t       reset_value;
+               uint32_t        flags;
+       };
+.Ed
+.Bl -tag -width width
+.It Dv event_id
+is the event ID to be counted.
+.It Dv reset_value
+is a value to which the counter should be reset on overflow (if supported
+by the implementation).  This is most useful when profiling (see
+.Em PMC_OP_PROFSTART ,
+below).  This value is defined to be the number of counter ticks before
+the next overflow.  So, to get a profiling tick on every hundredth data
+cache miss, set the
+.Dv event_id
+to the proper value for
+.Dq dcache-miss
+and set
+.Dv reset_value
+to 100.
+.It Dv flags
+Currently unused.
+.El
+.It PMC_OP_PROFSTART
+Configures the specified
+.Fa ctr
+for use in profiling.
+.Fa argp
+is a pointer to a
+.Em struct pmc_counter_cfg
+as in
+.Em PMC_OP_CONFIGURE ,
+above.  This request allocates a kernel counter, which will fail if any
+process is using the requested counter.
+Not all implementations or counters may support this option.
+.It PMC_OP_PROFSTOP
+Stops the specified
+.Fa ctr
+from being used for profiling.
+.Fa argp
+is ignored in this case and may be
+.Dv NULL .
+.El
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+A return value of 0 indicates that the call succeeded.  Otherwise, -1 is
+returned and the global variable
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+Among the possible error codes from
+.Fn pmc_control
+and
+.Fn pmc_get_info
+are
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+The address specified for the
+.Fa argp
+is invalid.
+.It Bq Er ENXIO
+Specified counter is not yet configured.
+.It Bq Er EINPROGRESS
+.Dv PMC_OP_START
+was passed for a counter that is already running.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+Specified counter was invalid.
+.It Bq Er EBUSY
+If the requested counter is already in use--either by the current process
+or by the kernel.
+.It Bq Er ENODEV
+If and only if the specified counter event is not valid for the specified
+counter when configuring a counter or starting profiling.
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+If the kernel is unable to allocate memory.
+.El
