PCTR(1)                    OpenBSD Reference Manual                    PCTR(1)

NAME
     pctr - display CPU performance counters



SYNOPSIS
     pctr [-l 5 | 6]

DESCRIPTION
     The pctr program is a sample implementation of how to access the pctr(4)
     pseudo device available on many i386 compatible machines.

     By default, the pctr command displays the current values of the TSC and
     any vendor specific counter registers.

OPTIONS
     There is one available option:

     -l 5 | 6
             List all possible vendor specific counters.  The argument speci-
             fies which ``family'' to display; it defaults to the ``family''
             designation of the current processor.

RETURN VALUES
     The pctr program exits with a value of 0 on success or 1 on failure.

BUGS
     The pctr program is still orientated towards Intel brand microprocessors.

SEE ALSO
