PMEVENTFLAGSSTR(3)					     Library Functions Manual						PMEVENTFLAGSSTR(3)

NAME
       pmEventFlagsStr, pmEventFlagsStr_r - convert an event record flags value into a string

C SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       const char *pmEventFlagsStr(int flags);
       char *pmEventFlagsStr_r(int flags, char *buf, int buflen);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION
       For  use  in  error and diagnostic messages, pmEventFlagsStr returns a `human readable' version of the value flags, assuming this to be the
       er_flags field of a pmEventRecord.  The pmEventFlagsStr_r function does the same, but stores the result in a user-supplied  buffer  buf	of
       length buflen, which should have room for at least 64 bytes.

       The  string value result from pmEventFlagsStr is held in a single static buffer, so the returned value is only valid until the next call to
       pmEventFlagsStr.

NOTES
       pmEventFlagsStr returns a pointer to a static buffer and hence  is  not	thread-safe.   Multi-threaded  applications  should  use  pmEvent-
       FlagsStr_r instead.
