NAME

       pmiWrite - flush data to a LOGIMPORT archive

C SYNOPSIS

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

       int pmiWrite(int sec, int usec);

       cc ... -lpcp_import -lpcp

Perl SYNOPSIS

       use PCP::LogImport;

       pmiWrite($sec, $usec);

DESCRIPTION

       As  part  of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see LOGIMPORT(3)), pmiWrite forces accumulated data
       values out to the PCP archive.

       The data values and associated metadata have previously been built up  using  calls  to  pmiAddMetric(3),
       pmiAddInstance(3), pmiPutValue(3) and pmiPutValueHandle(3).

       The current set of data values and any new metadata is written to the archive with a timestamp of sec and
       usec in the source timezone of the archive, see pmiSetTimezone(3).

DIAGNOSTICS

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