.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions control the set of target processes tracked by a
|
|
process scope PMC.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn pmc_attach
|
|
is used to attach a process scope PMC specified by argument
|
|
.Fa pmcid
|
|
to a target process specified by argument
|
|
.Fa pid .
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
may be zero to denote the current process.
|
|
If the PMC was allocated with modifier
|
|
.Dv PMC_F_DESCENDANTS ,
|
|
the PMC will additionally attach to current and future descendents of
|
|
the specified target process.
|
|
The PMC should be in a quiescent state (i.e., not running).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Function
|
|
.Fn pmc_detach
|
|
is used to detach a process scope PMC specified by argument
|
|
.Fa pmcid
|
|
from a process specified by argument
|
|
.Fa pid .
|
|
Argument
|
|
.Fa pid
|
|
may be zero to denote the current process.
