NAME

       pmiPutResult - add a data record to a LOGIMPORT archive

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/import.h>

       int pmiPutResult(const pmResult *result);

       cc ... -lpcp_import -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       As part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see LOGIMPORT(3)), pmiPutResult provides an interface
       for developers familiar with the internal PCP data structures to create output archives directly.

       By building the pmResult data structure directly, then calling pmiPutResult the developer avoids calls to
       pmiPutValue(3)  and/or  pmiPutValueHandle(3) followed by a call to pmiWrite(3) for each record written to
       the archive.

       Any  metrics  and  instances  appearing  in  the  result  must  have  been  defined  by  prior  calls  to
       pmiAddMetric(3) and pmiAddInstance(3).

       pmiPutResult will arrange for any new metadata (metrics and/or instance domain changes) covered by result
       to be also written to the PCP archive.

       Because of the complexity of the pmResult data structure, this routine  is  not  available  in  the  Perl
       interface to the LOGIMPORT services.

DIAGNOSTICS

       pmiPutResult  returns  zero  on success else a negative value that can be turned into an error message by
       calling pmiErrStr(3).
