-.SH NAME
-perfmonctl \- interface to IA-64 performance monitoring unit
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <syscall.h>
-.B #include <perfmon.h>
-.P
-.BI "long perfmonctl(int " fd ", int " cmd ", void " arg [. narg "], int " narg ");"
-.fi
-.P
-.IR Note :
-There is no glibc wrapper for this system call; see HISTORY.
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The IA-64-specific
-.BR perfmonctl ()
-system call provides an interface to the
-PMU (performance monitoring unit).
-The PMU consists of PMD (performance monitoring data) registers and
-PMC (performance monitoring control) registers,
-which gather hardware statistics.
-.P
-.BR perfmonctl ()
-applies the operation
-.I cmd
-to the input arguments specified by
-.IR arg .
-The number of arguments is defined by \fInarg\fR.
-The
-.I fd
-argument specifies the perfmon context to operate on.
-.P
-Supported values for
-.I cmd
-are:
-.TP
-.B PFM_CREATE_CONTEXT
-.nf
-.BI  "perfmonctl(int " fd ", PFM_CREATE_CONTEXT, pfarg_context_t *" ctxt ", 1);"
-.fi
-Set up a context.
-.IP
-The
-.I fd
-parameter is ignored.
-A new perfmon context is created as specified in
-.I ctxt
-and its file descriptor is returned in \fIctxt\->ctx_fd\fR.
-.IP
-The file descriptor can be used in subsequent calls to
-.BR perfmonctl ()
-and can be used to read event notifications (type
-.IR pfm_msg_t )
-using
-.BR read (2).
-The file descriptor is pollable using
-.BR select (2),
-.BR poll (2),
-and
-.BR epoll (7).
-.IP
-The context can be destroyed by calling
-.BR close (2)
-on the file descriptor.

-.SH RETURN VALUE
-.BR perfmonctl ()
-returns zero when the operation is successful.
-On error, \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH STANDARDS
-Linux on IA-64.
-.SH HISTORY
-Added in Linux 2.4;
-.\" commit ecf5b72d5f66af843f189dfe9ce31598c3e48ad7
-removed in Linux 5.10.
-.P
-This system call was broken for many years,
-and ultimately removed in Linux 5.10.
-.P
-glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call;
-on kernels where it exists, call it using
-.BR syscall (2).
