This package contains the all developments files for the libpfm3 library which is used by performance monitoring applications using the ia-64 performance monitor unit (pmu). this version supports several modern processors: both the itanium and itanium 2 processors, as well as pentium m/p6 cores, and amd x86_64 processors.

header files are no longer in /usr/include/perfmon3. since libpfm support for 2.4 linux kernels has been deprecated, the header files have been moved back to their original upstream location of /usr/include/perfmon.
