PMINDOMSTR(3) Library Functions Manual PMINDOMSTR(3)
pmInDomStr, pmInDomStr_r - convert a performance metric instance
domain identifier into a string
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
const char *pmInDomStr(pmInDom indom);
char *pmInDomStr_r(pmInDom indom, char *buf, int buflen);
cc ... -lpcp
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 particular performance metric.
Internally, an instance domain identifier is encoded with two
fields: domain and serial.
pmInDomStr returns a string with each of the fields 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 pmInDomStr.
pmInDomStr returns a pointer to a static buffer and hence is not
thread-safe. Multi-threaded applications should use pmInDomStr_r
instead.
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 configuration file, as described in
pcp.conf(5). Values for these variables may be obtained
programmatically using the pmGetConfig(3) function.
