@par Examples:

*   int EventCode, EventSet = PAPI_NULL;
*   // Convert to integer
*   if ( PAPI_event_name_to_code( "PAPI_TOT_INS", &EventCode ) != PAPI_OK )
*   handle_error( 1 );
*   // Create the EventSet
*   if ( PAPI_create_eventset( &EventSet ) != PAPI_OK )
*   handle_error( 1 );
*   // Add Total Instructions Executed to our EventSet
*   if ( PAPI_add_event( EventSet, EventCode ) != PAPI_OK )
*   handle_error( 1 );
