NAME

       pmEventFlagsStr, pmEventFlagsStr_r - convert an event record flags value into a string

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       const char *pmEventFlagsStr(int flags);
       char *pmEventFlagsStr_r(int flags, char *buf, int buflen);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       For use in error and diagnostic messages, pmEventFlagsStr returns a `human readable' version of the value
       flags,  assuming  this to be the er_flags field of a pmEventRecord or pmHighResEventRecord.  The pmEvent‐
       FlagsStr_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 64 bytes.

       The  string value result from pmEventFlagsStr is held in a single static buffer, so the returned value is
       only valid until the next call to pmEventFlagsStr.

NOTES

       pmEventFlagsStr returns a pointer to a static buffer and hence is not thread-safe.  Multi-threaded appli‐
       cations should use pmEventFlagsStr_r instead.
