=============================
pmtrace
 is a sample application that uses the pcp_trace interface to send
trace data to the trace PMDA (Performance Metrics Domain Agent).
The binary is shipped as part of pcp and should be installed in
$PCP_BIN_DIR/pmtrace.  A pmtrace(1) man page is available.
The source is shipped as part of pcp as well and is installed in
$PCP_DEMOS_DIR/trace.  If you have the C compiler installed, the
source and Makefile in this directory may be used to create a
functionally equivalent binary, simply by entering the command
	% make pmtrace
The source in pmtrace.c demonstrates many of the trace services.
The C interface		( pmtrace.c, app1.c, app2.c, and app3.c )
===============
    The default Makefile rules build the C applications only, so
these applications can be built simply by using the command
	% make
The Fortran Interface	( fapp1.f )
=====================
    To build the sample Fortran program, using either the f77 or
f90 compilers, use one of these commands
	% make fortran77
	% make fortran90
The Java Interface	( japp1.java )
==================
    To build the sample Java program, and provided you have the
java compiler installed, use the command
	% make java
    Setting the environment variable $CLASSPATH to include the full
path to the trace.class file (/usr/java/classes/com/sgi/pcp) allows
the application to compile and run successfuly.
To run the demo application, after compilation type
	% java japp1
which passes the compiled class file into the java interpreter for
subsequent execution.
The pcp_trace "stub" library
============================
    To ensure that applications linked with the pcp_trace library are
not locked into being SGI-specific, a "stub" library which has all of
the pcp_trace entry points defined and simple debug switching enabled,
is provided (stub.c).  This shared library can be built using
	% make -f Makefile.stub
and is intended to be simple to port to other platforms.
