Starts Performance Monitor counting for a target thread.
Performance Monitor APIs Library (libpmapi.a)
#include <pmapi.h>
int pm_start_thread ( pid, tid)
pid_t pid;
tid_t tid;
The pm_start_thread subroutine starts Performance Monitor counting for a target kernel thread. The thread must be stopped and must be part of a debuggee process, under the control of the calling process. Counting is effective immediately unless the thread is in a group and the group counting is not currently set to On. The counting state of a thread in a group is obtained by ANDing the thread counting state with the group state.
| pid | Process ID of target thread. Target process must be a debuggee of the caller process. |
| tid | Thread ID of target thread. |
| 0 | Operation completed successfully. |
| Positive Error Code | Refer to the pm_error (pm_error Subroutine) subroutine to decode the error code. |
