PMFREERESULT(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   PMFREERESULT(3)

NAME
       pmFreeResult - release storage allocated for performance metrics values

C SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       void pmFreeResult(pmResult *result);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION
       The  variable  sized  results  returned by pmFetch(3) are allocated below the Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI)
       using a combination of dynamic (i.e. malloc(3)) and specialized allocation strategies.

       Applications should call pmFreeResult to release the storage previously allocated for result by pmFetch(3), when the application no  longer
       requires access to the pmResult structure.

       Under no circumstances should an application use free(result) to release storage previously allocated for a pmResult by pmFetch(3).

       PMAPI(3) and pmFetch(3).
