pmdaOpenLog - redirect stderr to a logfile

#include<pcp/pmapi.h>#include<pcp/pmda.h>voidpmdaOpenLog(pmdaInterface*dispatch);cc...-lpcp_pmda-lpcp

       The PMDA  must  be  using  PMDA_INTERFACE_2  or  later,  as  specified  in  the  call  to  pmdaDSO(3)  or
       pmdaDaemon(3).

pmdaOpenLog redirects stderr to the logfile specified in the dispatch structure, set by the previous call
       to  pmdaDaemon(3)  or  pmdaGetOpt(3).  The first line of the log file will detail the name of the calling
       process, the host the process is running on, and the current time.  In addition, the log is appended with
       the exit time of the process by a routine registered with atexit(3).

       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.
