PAPI_disable_component(3)

okay bestie, welcome to PAPI_disable_component(3) from the PAPI manual ✨ this one is short and iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

PAPI_disable_component — disables the specified component 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The generated page doesn’t put a separate synopsis line here, bestie — the function deets are right below in Detailed Description 🦋

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

💅 Return values

• ENOCMP — component does not exist 😭
• ENOINIT — cannot disable as PAPI has already been initialized 🙈

🎀 Parameters

• cidx — component index of component to be disabled ✨

🌈 Examples:

int cidx, result;

cidx = PAPI_get_component_index("example");

if (cidx>=0) {
   result = PAPI_disable_component(cidx);
   if (result==PAPI_OK)
      printf("The example component is disabled\n");
}
// ...
PAPI_library_init();

okay so PAPI_disable_component() lets the user disable components before PAPI_library_init() time — it’s giving “pre-game cleanup” energy, lowkey. This is useful if the user knows they do not wish to use events from that component and want to reduce the PAPI library overhead. 💖

⚠️ Important, no cap: PAPI_disable_component() must be called before PAPI_library_init().
