.SH NAME
PAPI_remove_events \- 
.PP
Remove an array of hardware event codes from a PAPI event set\&.  

.SH SYNOPSIS
.br
.PP
.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
A hardware event can be either a PAPI Preset or a native hardware event code\&. For a list of PAPI preset events, see PAPI_presets or run the papi_avail utility in the PAPI distribution\&. PAPI Presets can be passed to \fBPAPI_query_event\fP to see if they exist on the underlying architecture\&. For a list of native events available on current platform, run papi_native_avail in the PAPI distribution\&. It should be noted that \fBPAPI_remove_events\fP can partially succeed, exactly like \fBPAPI_add_events\fP\&.

\fIPositive\fP integer The number of consecutive elements that succeeded before the error\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_EINVAL\fP One or more of the arguments is invalid\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_ENOEVST\fP The EventSet specified does not exist\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_EISRUN\fP The EventSet is currently counting events\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_ECNFLCT\fP The underlying counter hardware can not count this event and other events in the EventSet simultaneously\&. 
.br
