pmdaPMID - translate a dynamic performance metric name into a PMID
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
#include <pcp/pmda.h>
int pmdaPMID(char *name, pmID *pmid, pmdaExt *pmda);
cc ... -lpcp_pmda -lpcp
As part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see
PMDA(3)), pmdaPMID is the generic callback for translating a dynamic
metric name into a PMID (pmid).
Because implementing dynamic performance metrics requires specific
PMDA support, and the facility is an optional component of a PMDA
(most PMDAs do not support dynamic performance metrics), pmdaPMID is
a skeleton implementation that returns PM_ERR_NAME.
A PMDA that supports dynamic performance metrics will provide a
private callback that replaces pmdaPMID (by assignment to
version.four.pmid of the pmdaInterface structure) and implements the
translation from a dynamic performance metric name into the
associated pmid.
pmdaPMID returns PM_ERR_NAME if the name is not recognized or cannot
be translated, else returns 0.
The PMDA must be using PMDA_PROTOCOL_4 or later, as specified in the
call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3).
