pmaTryDeltaInDom - try to translate a physical indom record from
a ``full indom'' to a ``delta indom''
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
#include <pcp/libpcp.h>

This documentation is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot
(PCP) developer use.
These interfaces are not part of the PCP APIs that are guaranteed
to remain fixed across releases, and they may not work, or may
provide different semantics at some point in the future.
The input instance domain is passed in as either a physical
metadata record via rbuf or in the ``loaded'' format identified
by lidp. As these are alternate formats for the input instance
domain, pmaTryDeltaInDom demands that exactly one of rbuf and
lidp must be NULL, else the return value is -2.
The input instance domain is on the path to being written to the
archive identified by lcp.
If possible, the instance domain will be converted to the ``delta
indom'' format, and the converted instance domain returned via
rbuf or lidp (whichever is not NULL). If conversion takes place,
any storage associated with the input instance domain will have
been free'd.
The ``delta indom'' format is only supported for Version 3
archives and it is the caller's responsibility to determine if
calling pmaTryDeltaInDom is appropriate.
To determine if the ``delta indom'' format is the most efficient
encoding, pmaTryDeltaInDom maintains a per-instance domain cache
of the last seen ``full'' instance domain. To avoid data
corruption, this means pmaTryDeltaInDom first copies the input
instance domain. The copy and the cache are all managed
privately by pmaTryDeltaInDom so the caller is unaware of this
activity.
The caching scheme requires that the caller must call
pmaTryDeltaInDom for every instance domain record, independent of
whether the ``delta indom'' format is likely to be appropriate.
In several places, fatal errors will trigger an error message and
force the application to exit.
A return value of -1 indicates that rbuf was not NULL and the
physical record therein was not a TYPE_INDOM (Version 3 ``full''
instance domain) record as expected. A return value of 1 means
rbuf or lidp has been rewritten, and is now a TYPE_INDOM_DELTA
record. Otherwise the return value is 0.
