PMNAMEINDOMARCHIVE(3) Library Functions ManualPMNAMEINDOMARCHIVE(3)pmNameInDomArchive- translate an instance identifier into an instance name
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>int pmNameInDomArchive(pmInDomindom, intinst, char **name);cc ... -lpcp
Provided that the current Performance Metrics Application Program‐ ming Interface (PMAPI) context is associated with a set of archives,pmNameInDomArchivewill scan the union of all the in‐ stance domain metadata for the instance domainindom, locate the first instance with the internal instance identifier given byin‐st, and return the full external instance identification vianame. This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routinepmNameInDom. The value for the instance domainindom is typically extracted from apmDesc structure, following a call topmLookupDesc(3) for a particular performance metric. The space for the value ofname will have been allocated inpm‐NameInDomArchivewithmalloc(3), and it is the responsibility of the caller tofree(3) the space when it is no longer required.pmNameInDomArchivereturns zero on success.
