NAME
pmNameInDom - translate an instance identifier into an instance name C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h> int pmNameInDom(pmInDom indom, int inst, char **name); cc ... -lpcp DESCRIPTION
For the instance domain indom, in the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) context, locate the instance with the internal instance identifier given by inst, and return the full external instance identification via name. The value for the instance domain indom is typically extracted from a pmDesc structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a particu- lar performance metric. The space for the value of name will have been allocated in pmNameInDom with malloc(3C), and it is the responsibility of the caller to free(3C) the space when it is no longer required. pmNameInDom returns zero on success. SEE ALSO
PMAPI(3), pmGetConfig(3), pmGetInDom(3), pmLookupInDom(3), pmNameInDomArchive(3), pcp.conf(5) and pcp.env(5). DIAGNOSTICS
PM_ERR_INDOM indom is not a valid instance domain identifier PM_ERR_INST The instance identifier inst is not known for the instance domain indom in the current PMAPI context Performance Co-Pilot PCP PMNAMEINDOM(3)

NAME
pmLookupInDom - translate an instance name into an instance identifier C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h> int pmLookupInDom(pmInDom indom, const char *name); cc ... -lpcp DESCRIPTION
For the instance domain indom, in the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) context, locate the instance with the external identification given by name, and return the internal instance identifier. Only the leading non-space characters of name will be used to identify the instance. The value for the instance domain indom is typically extracted from a pmDesc structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a particu- lar performance metric. pmLookupInDom will return a positive instance identifier on success.
