NAME
       pmdaDaemon - initialize the PMDA to run as a daemon

C SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/impl.h>
       #include <pcp/pmda.h>

       void pmdaDaemon(pmdaInterface *dispatch, int interface, char *name, int domain, char *logfile, char *helptext);

       cc ... -lpcp_pmda -lpcp

DESCRIPTION
       pmdaDaemon  initializes the pmdaInterface structure to use the interface extensions assuming the PMDA(3) is to be run as a daemon.  The pm-
       daInterface structure is initialized with:

       name	      The name of the agent.

       domain	      The default domain number of the agent which uniquely identifies this PMDA from other running PMDAs.   This  may	be  subse-
		      quently changed by a command line option -d (see pmdaGetOpt(3)).

       logfile	      The default path to the log file.  This may be replaced by the -l command line option if using pmdaGetOpt.

       helptext       The  default  path  to  the help text (see pmdaText(3).  This may be replaced by the -h command line option if using pmdaGe-
		      tOpt(3).	If no help text is installed, or you are not using pmdaText(3), then this should be set to NULL.

       The callbacks are initialized to pmdaProfile(3), pmdaFetch(3), pmdaDesc(3), pmdaText(3), pmdaInstance(3) and pmdaStore(3).

DIAGNOSTICS
       Unable to allocate memory for pmdaExt structure
		      In addition, the dispatch->status field is set to a value less than zero.

       PMDA interface version interface not supported
		      The interface version is not supported by pmdaDaemon.

CAVEAT
       The PMDA must be using PMDA_INTERFACE_2 or later.
