PMLOOKUPTEXT(3) Library Functions Manual PMLOOKUPTEXT(3)
pmLookupText - return text describing a performance metric
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmLookupText(pmID pmid, int level, char **buffer);
cc ... -lpcp
Provided the source of metrics from the current Performance Metrics
Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) context is a host, retrieve
descriptive text about the performance metric identified by pmid.
The argument level should be PM_TEXT_ONELINE for a one-line summary,
else PM_TEXT_HELP for a more verbose description, suited to a help
dialog.
The space pointed to by buffer will have been allocated in
pmLookupText with malloc(3), and it is the responsibility of the
caller to free(3) the space when it is no longer required.
pmLookupText returns zero on success.
PM_ERR_NOTHOST
For archives created with versions of PCP prior to 4.0, if the
current PMAPI context is an archive log (help and one-line
text was previously not maintained in the archive logs)
chkhelp(1), newhelp(1), PMAPI(3), pmGetConfig(3), pmLookupDesc(3),
pmLookupInDomText(3), pcp.conf(5) and pcp.env(5).
