36# Description: A program to run a simple program against every available
37# pmc counter present in a system.
38#
39# To use:
40#
41# pmctest.py -p ls > /dev/null
42#
43# This should result in ls being run with every available counter
44# and the system should neither lock up nor panic.
45#
46# The default is to wait after each counter is tested.  Since the
47# prompt would go to stdout you won't see it, just press return
48# to continue or Ctrl-D to stop.
