NAME

       pmiErrStr, pmiErrStr_r - convert a LOGIMPORT error code into a string

C SYNOPSIS

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

       const char *pmiErrStr(int code);
       char *pmiErrStr_r(int code, char buf, int buflen);

       cc ... -lpcp_import -lpcp

Perl SYNOPSIS

       use PCP::LogImport;

       pmiErrStr($code);

DESCRIPTION

       As  part  of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see LOGIMPORT(3)), pmiErrStr translates error codes
       returned from the other routines in the Log Import library into printable error messages.

       code would normally have a negative value.  As a special case, if code is -1 then the error code returned
       from the last routine called in the LOGIMPORT library for this context will be used.

       The  pmiErrStr_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 PMI_MAXERRMSGLEN bytes.

       The set of possible error codes and messages is all those defined by pmErrStr(3)  and  PCPIntro(3),  plus
       the additonal ones defined in <pcp/import.h> with error code names of the form PMI_ERR_....
