Description-en: Library to program the performance monitoring events
Libpfm4 helps convert from an event name, expressed as a string, to
the event encoding. The encoding can then be used with specific OS
interfaces. Libpfm4 also provides OS-specific interfaces to directly
setup OS-specific data structures to be passed to the kernel. The
current libpfm4, for instance, provides support for the perf_events
interface which was introduced in Linux v2.6.31.
.
This package provides the shared library.
