Source: libpfm4 Priority: extra Maintainer: Stephane Eranian Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), python (>= 2.4), python-support, python-dev (>= 2.4), swig Standards-Version: 3.8.4 Section: libs Homepage: http://perfmon2.sourceforge.net/ Package: libpfm4-dev Section: libdevel Architecture: any Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: A 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.

Package: python-libpfm4 Depends: libpfm4, python, ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Architecture: any Section: python Description: Python bindings for libpfm4 This package allows you to write simple python scripts that monitor various hardware performance monitoring events. It may be more efficient to use this approach instead of parsing the output of other tools.
