NAME

       pmFreeResult - release storage allocated for performance metrics values

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       void pmFreeResult(pmResult *result);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       The variable sized results returned by pmFetch(3) are allocated below the Performance Metrics Application
       Programming Interface (PMAPI) using a combination of dynamic (i.e. malloc(3)) and specialized  allocation
       strategies.

       Applications  should  call  pmFreeResult  to  release  the  storage  previously  allocated  for result by
       pmFetch(3), when the application no longer requires access to the pmResult structure.

       Under no circumstances should an application use free(result) to release storage previously allocated for
       a pmResult by pmFetch(3).
