CAVEAT

       This documentation is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) developer use.

       These interfaces are not part of the PCP APIs that are guaranteed to remain  fixed  across
       releases,  and  they may not work, or may provide different semantics at some point in the
       future.

DESCRIPTION

       Given a numeric archive metadata record type (type), pmLogMetaTypeStr produces  the  ASCII
       name   of   that  record  type,  else  UNKNOWN  if  type  is  not  a  valid  record  type.
       pmLogMetaTypeStr_r function does the same, but stores the result in a user-supplied buffer
       buf of length buflen, which should have room for at least 17 bytes.

       Examples are DESC (for type equals 0), INDOM_V2 (for type equals 1), etc.

NOTES

       Both of these functions are safe to call from threaded contexts.
