DESCRIPTION
       As  part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see PMDA(3)), pmdaProfile is the default callback which handles the receipt of
       a __pmProfile from pmcd(1).  A profile describes the instances that pmcd requires in the pmResult structure returned  by  the  next  fetch.
       pmdaProfile simply stores the new profile.

CAVEAT
       The PMDA must be using PMDA_PROTOCOL_2 or later, as specified in the call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3).
