NAME
pmTypeStr - convert a performance metric type into a string
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
const char *pmTypeStr(int type)
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
Given a performance metric
type,
produce a terse ASCII equivalent, appropriate for use in error and diagnostic
messages
The value for
type
is typically extracted from a
pmDesc
structure, following a call to
pmLookupDesc(3)
for a particular performance metric.
Examples are
32
(for
type
equals
PM_TYPE_32),
U64
(for
type
equals
PM_TYPE_U64),
AGGREGATE
(for
type
equals
PM_TYPE_AGGREGATE),
etc.
The string value is held in a single static buffer, so the returned value is
only valid until the next call to
pmTypeStr.
