QmcDesc - container for a metric description

#include<QmcDesc.h>c++...-lpcp_qmc-lpcp

~QmcDesc();
           Destructor.

       QmcDesc(pmIDpmid);
           Construct  a  container  for  the  descriptor  for pmid.  The descriptor is obtained from the current
           PMAPI(3) context using pmLookupDesc(3).

intstatus()const;
           A status less than zero indicates that the descriptor could not be obtained, the  PMAPI(3)  error  is
           encoded in the result.

       pmIDid()const;
           Return the pmID for this descriptor.

       pmDescdesc()const;
           Return a copy of the actual metric descriptor.

       constpmDesc*descPtr()const;
           Return a pointer to the actual descriptor to avoid using a pointer to a temporary.

       Error  messages are generated using pmprintf(3) but are not flushed. It is the responsibility of the user
       to call pmflush(3) to output any messages.

       Additional diagnostics may be activated by adding the option pmc to the global  debugging  specification,
       as described in pmSetDebug(3).

constQString&units()const;
           The complete unit string for this descriptor.

       constQString&shortUnits()const;
           The unit string using abbreviations.

       booluseScaleUnits()const;
           Returns true if the units have been set by a call to QmcDesc::setScaleUnits.

       constpmUnits&scaleUnits()const;
           Return the scaling units for this descriptor.

       voidsetScaleUnits(constpmUnits&units);
           Set the scaling units for this descriptor.
