pmInDomStr, pmInDomStr_r - convert a performance metric instance domain identifier into a string

#include<pcp/pmapi.h>constchar*pmInDomStr(pmInDomindom);char*pmInDomStr_r(pmInDomindom,char*buf,intbuflen);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.
