NAME
     libpctx - process context library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lpctx [ library... ]


DESCRIPTION
     Functions in this library provide a simple means  to  access
     the  underlying facilities of proc(4) to allow a controlling
     process to manipulate the state of a controlled process.


     This library is primarily for use in  conjunction  with  the
     libcpc(3LIB)  library.  Used together, these libraries allow
     developers to construct tools that can manipulate  CPU  per-
     formance  counters in other processes. The cputrack(1) util-
     ity is an example of such a tool.
