NAME
       pmNameInDom - translate an instance identifier into an instance name

C SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       int pmNameInDom(pmInDom indom, int inst, 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 internal instance identifier given by inst, and return the full external instance identification via name.

       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.

       The  space  for	the  value  of name will have been allocated in pmNameInDom with malloc(3C), and it is the responsibility of the caller to
       free(3C) the space when it is no longer required.

       pmNameInDom returns zero on success.

DIAGNOSTICS
       PM_ERR_INDOM
	      indom is not a valid instance domain identifier

       PM_ERR_INST
	      The instance identifier inst is not known for the instance domain indom in the current PMAPI context
