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.
