Detailed Description

C Interface:
    #include <papi.h>
     int PAPI_state( int EventSet, int * status );

Parameters:
    EventSet -- an integer handle for a PAPI event set as created by PAPI_create_eventset
    status -- an integer containing a boolean combination of one or more of the following nonzero constants as defined in the PAPI header file papi.h:
    •   PAPI_STOPPED -- EventSet is stopped
    •   PAPI_RUNNING -- EventSet is running
    •   PAPI_PAUSED -- EventSet temporarily disabled by the library
    •   PAPI_NOT_INIT -- EventSet defined, but not initialized
    •   PAPI_OVERFLOWING -- EventSet has overflowing enabled
    •   PAPI_PROFILING -- EventSet has profiling enabled
    •   PAPI_MULTIPLEXING -- EventSet has multiplexing enabled
    •   PAPI_ACCUMULATING -- reserved for future use
    •   PAPI_HWPROFILING -- reserved for future use

Return values:
    PAPI_OK
    PAPI_EINVAL One or more of the arguments is invalid.
    PAPI_ENOEVST The EventSet specified does not exist.

PAPI_state() returns the counting state of the specified event set.

Example:
    *  int EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
    *  int status = 0;
    *  int ret;
    *
    *  ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet);
    *  if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
    *
    *  // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
    *  ret = PAPI_add_event(EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS);
    *  if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
    *
    *  // Start counting
    *  ret = PAPI_state(EventSet, &status);
    *  if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
    *  printf("State is now %d,status);
    *  ret = PAPI_start(EventSet);
    *  if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
    *  ret = PAPI_state(EventSet, &status);
    *  if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret);
    *  printf("State is now %d,status);
