       As  part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see LOGIMPORT(3)), pmiAddInstance adds a new element
       to the instance domain identified by indom.

       indom would normally be constructed using the pmInDom_build macro, e.g.  pmInDom_build(PMI_DOMAIN,0)  for
       the first instance domain in the Performance Metrics Domain PMI_DOMAIN (which is the default for all meta
       data created by the LOGIMPORT library).

       The  new  instance  must have both an external name (instance) and an internal instance identifier (inst)
       that is unique across all instances in the indom instance domain.  There is a special ``uniqueness rule''
       for instance that is imposed by pmLookupInDom(3), namely that the external instance name must  be  unique
       in  the  leading non-space characters, e.g. the instance names ``foo'' and ``foo bar'' are considered the
       same by this rule and not allowed in the same instance  domain,  but  ``foo''  and  ``foobar''  would  be
       allowed.

       Once  defined,  the  external instance name can be used in calls to pmiGetHandle(3) and/or pmiPutValue(3)
       with the name of a metric defined over the same instance domain.

pmiAddInstance returns zero on success else a negative value that can be turned into an error message  by
       calling pmiErrStr(3).
