@par C Interface:
\#include <papi.h> @n
PAPI_create_eventset( int * EventSet );
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 or similar routines.
@note PAPI-C uses a late binding model to bind EventSets to components.
When an EventSet is first created it is not bound to a component.
This will cause some API calls that modify EventSet options to fail.
An EventSet can be bound to a component explicitly by calling
PAPI_assign_eventset_component or implicitly by calling PAPI_add_event
or similar routines.
@param *EventSet
Address of an integer location to store the new EventSet handle.
@exception PAPI_EINVAL
The argument handle has not been initialized to PAPI_NULL or the argument is a NULL pointer.
@exception PAPI_ENOMEM
Insufficient memory to complete the operation.
@par Examples:
