PMLOOKUPINDOM(3)					     Library Functions Manual						  PMLOOKUPINDOM(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.

DIAGNOSTICS

       PM_ERR_INDOM
	      indom is not a valid instance domain identifier

       PM_ERR_INST
	      The external instance name is not known for the instance domain indom in the current PMAPI context

NAME

       pmLookupInDomArchive - translate an instance name into an instance identifier

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       int pmLookupInDomArchive(pmInDom indom, const char *name);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       Provided the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) context is associated with an archive log, pmLookupInDo-
       mArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain metadata for the instance domain indom, locate the first instance with the external
       identification given by name, and return the internal instance identifier.

       This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routine pmLookupInDom.

       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.

       pmLookupInDomArchive will return a positive instance identifier on success.

DIAGNOSTICS

       PM_ERR_NOTARCHIVE
	      the current PMAPI context is not associated with an archive log

       PM_ERR_INDOM_LOG
	      indom is not a defined instance domain identifier for the archive log

       PM_ERR_INST_LOG
	      the external instance name is not known for the instance domain indom in the archive log
