NAME

       pmNoMem - report out of memory conditions

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       void pmNoMem(const char *where, size_t size, int fatal);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       pmNoMem  is  a  convenience method that may be used when malloc(3) or a related memory allocation service
       fails.

       A standard message is emitted using pmNotifyErr(3) with where used as a message prefix  and  the  failing
       allocation size is also reported.

       If  fatal  is  zero  (and PM_RECOV_ERR is zero), pmNoMem returns (the allocation failure is assumed to be
       recoverable by the caller), else (and PM_FATAL_ERR is a good value to use in this case) exit(2) is called
       with an argument of 1.
