- "address = syssgi(SGI_QUERY_CYCLECNTR, &resolution)" gives me the
- location of a hardware counter, 32-bits on an IO3 and 24-bits on an
- Indigo.
-
- "syssgi.h" didn't list a "SGI_QUERY_CYCLECNTR_LEN", but is there a way
- to get also get the length (i.e., 32-bits, 24-bits or whatever)?
-
- Thanks.
