NAME
       pmdaProfile - update instance profile for PMDA in preparation for the next fetch from PMCD


C SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/pmda.h>

       int pmdaProfile(pmProfile *prof, pmdaExt *pmda);

       cc ... -lpcp_pmda -lpcp


DESCRIPTION
       As  part  of  the  Performance  Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see PMDA(3)), pmdaProfile is the default
       callback which handles the receipt of a pmProfile from pmcd(1).  A profile describes the  instances  that
       pmcd  requires  in  the pmResult structure returned by the next fetch.  pmdaProfile simply stores the new
       profile.


CAVEAT
       The PMDA  must  be  using  PMDA_INTERFACE_2  or  later,  as  specified  in  the  call  to  pmdaDSO(3)  or
       pmdaDaemon(3).
