PMDAPMID(3) Library Functions Manual PMDAPMID(3)NAME
pmdaPMID - translate a dynamic performance metric name into a PMID
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
#include <pcp/impl.h>
#include <pcp/pmda.h>
int pmdaPMID(char *name, pmID *pmid, pmdaExt *pmda);
cc ... -lpcp_pmda -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
As part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see PMDA(3)), pmdaPMID is the generic callback for translating a dynamic metric
name into a PMID (pmid).
Because implementing dynamic performance metrics requires specific PMDA support, and the facility is an optional component of a PMDA (most
PMDAs do not support dynamic performance metrics), pmdaPMID is a skeleton implementation that returns PM_ERR_NAME.
A PMDA that supports dynamic performance metrics will provide a private callback that replaces pmdaPMID (by assignment to version.four.pmid
of the pmdaInterface structure) and implements the translation from a dynamic performance metric name into the associated pmid.
DIAGNOSTICS
pmdaPMID returns PM_ERR_NAME if the name is not recognized or cannot be translated, else returns 0.
CAVEAT
The PMDA must be using PMDA_PROTOCOL_4 or later, as specified in the call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3).

pmdaChildren - translate a PMID to a set of dynamic performance metric names
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
#include <pcp/impl.h>
#include <pcp/pmda.h>
int pmdaChildren(char *name, int traverse, char ***offspring, int **status, pmdaExt *pmda);
cc ... -lpcp_pmda -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
As part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see PMDA(3)), pmdaChildren is the generic callback for returning dynamic metric
names (and their status) that are descendants of name.
Because implementing dynamic performance metrics requires specific PMDA support, and the facility is an optional component of a PMDA (most
PMDAs do not support dynamic performance metrics), pmdaChildren is a skeleton implementation that returns PM_ERR_NAME.
A PMDA that supports dynamic performance metrics will provide a private callback that replaces pmdaChildren (by assignment to ver-
sion.four.children of the pmdaInterface structure) and takes the initial metric name and returns names via offspring[] and the leaf or non-
leaf status of each via status[].
If traverse is 0, then the behaviour is akin to pmGetChildren(3) and offspring[] contains the relative name component for the immediate de-
scendants of name.
If traverse is 1, then the behaviour is akin to pmTraversePMNS(3) and offspring[] contains the absolute names of all dynamic metrics that
are decedents of name.
The resulting list of pointers offspring and the values (the names) that the pointers reference will have been allocated by pmdaChildren
with a single call to malloc(3C), and the caller of pmdaChildren will call free(offspring) to release the space when it is no longer re-
quired. The same holds true for the status array.
DIAGNOSTICS
pmdaChildren returns PM_ERR_NAME if the name is not recognized or cannot be translated, otherwise the number of descendent metric names
found.
CAVEAT
The PMDA must be using PMDA_PROTOCOL_4 or later, as specified in the call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3).
