unsigned long flags)

Remarks

To view this manual entry via the man(1) command, use the function name shown above without the “$” character. 

DESCRIPTION

pfm_$init() initializes the PFM package.  The flags parameter indicates which initialization activities to perform. 

Currently, only one flags value is valid:

pfm_$init_signal_handlers()
Intercept C signals and convert them to PFM signals.  The following HP-UX signals are intercepted: SIGINT, SIGILL, SIGFPE, SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGQUIT, SIGTRAP, SIGBUS, SIGSEGV, and SIGSYS.  On MS-DOS systems, the first four of these, plus SIGABRT, are intercepted. 

Applications that use the PFM package should invoke pfm_$init() before invoking any other NCS calls.
