\fBPAPI_add_named_event\fP adds one event to a PAPI EventSet\&. 
.br
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 avail test case 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 the papi_native_avail utility in the PAPI distribution\&.

\fBParameters\fP
.RS 4
\fIEventSet\fP An integer handle for a PAPI Event Set as created by \fBPAPI_create_eventset\fP\&. 
.br
\fIEventCode\fP A defined event such as PAPI_TOT_INS\&.

\fBReturn values\fP
.RS 4
\fIPositive-Integer\fP The number of consecutive elements that succeeded before the error\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_EINVAL\fP One or more of the arguments is invalid\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_ENOINIT\fP The PAPI library has not been initialized\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_ENOMEM\fP Insufficient memory to complete the operation\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_ENOEVST\fP The event set specified does not exist\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_EISRUN\fP The event set is currently counting events\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_ECNFLCT\fP The underlying counter hardware can not count this event and other events in the event set simultaneously\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_ENOEVNT\fP The PAPI preset is not available on the underlying hardware\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_EBUG\fP Internal error, please send mail to the developers\&. 
.br
\fIPAPI_EMULPASS\fP Event exists, but cannot be counted due to multiple passes required by hardware\&.
