pmSemStr, pmSemStr_r - convert a performance metric semantic into a string

#include<pcp/pmapi.h>constchar*pmSemStr(intsem);char*pmSemStr_r(intsem,char*buf,intbuflen);cc...-lpcp

       Given  a  performance metric semantic, pmSemStr produces a terse ASCII equivalent, appropriate for use in
       error and diagnostic messages.  The pmSemStr_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 sem is typically extracted from a pmDesc structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for
       a particular performance metric.

       Examples  are counter (for sem equals PM_SEM_COUNTER), discrete (for sem equals PM_SEM_DISCRETE), instant
       (for sem equals PM_SEM_INSTANT), etc.

       Both of these routines are safe to call from threaded applications.
