PAPIF_create_eventset(C_INT EventSet, C_INT check) 

PAPI_create_eventset() creates a new EventSet pointed to by EventSet, which must be initialized to PAPI_NULL before calling this routine. The user may then add hardware events to the event set by calling PAPI_add_event (3) or similar routines.

EventSet -- Address of an integer location to store the new EventSet handle

On success, this function returns PAPI_OK.
On error, a non-zero error code is returned.

PAPI_EINVAL
	The argument handle has not been initialized to PAPI_NULL.
PAPI_ENOMEM
	Insufficient memory to complete the operation.

  int EventSet = PAPI_NULL;

  if (PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet) != PAPI_OK)
    handle_error(1);

  /* Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet */

  if (PAPI_add_event(&EventSet, PAPI_TOT_INS) != PAPI_OK)
    handle_error(1);
