NAME
pmNameInDomArchive - translate an instance identifier into an instance name C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h> int pmNameInDomArchive(pmInDom indom, int inst, char **name); cc ... -lpcp DESCRIPTION
Provided that the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) context is associated with an archive log, pmNameInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain metadata for the instance domain indom, locate the first instance with the internal instance identifier given by inst, and return the full external instance identification via name. This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routine pmNameInDom. 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 pmNameInDomArchive with malloc(3C), and it is the responsibility of the caller to free(3C) the space when it is no longer required. pmNameInDomArchive returns zero on success.

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 instance identifier inst is not known for the instance domain indom in the archive log Performance Co-Pilot PCP PMNAMEINDOMARCHIVE(3)

PMDAINSTANCE(3) 					     Library Functions Manual						   PMDAINSTANCE(3)

NAME
pmdaInstance - return instance descriptions for a PMDA C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h> #include <pcp/impl.h> #include <pcp/pmda.h> int pmdaInstance(pmInDom indom, int inst, char *name, __pmInResult **result, pmdaExt *pmda); cc ... -lpcp_pmda -lpcp DESCRIPTION
pmdaInstance uses the standard PMDA(3) data structures to return information concerning the instance domain indom. The result structure is constructed by pmdaInstance and will contain one or more instance names and/or identifiers as specified by the inst and name arguments. If inst has the value PM_IN_NULL and name is a null string, result will contain all the instances names and identifiers in the instance do- main. If inst is PM_IN_NULL but name is the name of an instance in the instance domain indom, then result will contain the instance identifier for instance name. Note that if name contains no spaces, partial matching up to the first space in the instance name is performed, i.e. ``1'' will match instance name ``1 minute''. If name contains an embedded space, then no partial matching is performed and name should match one of the instance names exactly. If name is a null string but inst is an instance identifier in the instance domain indom, then result will contain the name for instance inst. The result structure is allocated with malloc(3) and should be released by the caller with free(3). DIAGNOSTICS
If any errors occur during the execution of pmdaInstance, the result structure is deallocated. If the instance domain indom is not sup- ported by the PMDA, pmdaInstance will return PM_ERR_INDOM. If the inst or name does not correspond to any instances in the indom domain, pmdaInstance will return PM_ERR_INST. CAVEAT
The PMDA must be using PMDA_INTERFACE_2 or later, as specified in the call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3). Because of optional partial matching up to the first space in the instance name, the PMDA developer should ensure that if instance names are allowed to have spaces, the names are unique up to the first space.
