NAME
pmInDomStr, pmInDomStr_r - convert a performance metric instance domain identifier into a string
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h> const char *pmInDomStr(pmInDom indom); char *pmInDomStr_r(pmInDom indom, char *buf, int buflen); cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
For use in error and diagnostic messages, pmInDomStr return a 'human readable' version of the specified instance domain identifier. The pmInDomStr_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 20 bytes. 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. Internally, an instance domain identifier is encoded as follows; typedef struct { int pad:2; unsigned int domain:8; /* the administrative PMD */ unsigned int serial:22; /* unique within PMD */ } __pmInDom_int; pmInDomStr returns a string with each of the domain and serial subfields appearing as decimal numbers, separated by periods. The string value returned by pmInDomStr is held in a single static buffer, so the returned value is only valid until the next call to pmIn- DomStr.
NOTES
pmInDomStr returns a pointer to a static buffer and hence is not thread-safe. Multi-threaded applications should use pmInDomStr_r instead.
PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configura- tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5). Values for these variables may be obtained programmatically using the pmGetConfig(3) function.
