pmNameInDom - translate an instance identifier into an instance name
Contents
C Synopsis
#include<pcp/pmapi.h>intpmNameInDom(pmInDomindom,intinst,char**name);cc...-lpcp
Description
For the instance domain indom, in the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface
(PMAPI) context, locate the instance with the internal instance identifier given by inst, and return the
full external instance identification via name.
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.
The space for the value of name will have been allocated in pmNameInDom with malloc(3), and it is the
responsibility of the caller to free(3) the space when it is no longer required.
pmNameInDom returns zero on success.
Diagnostics

context
