NAME

       pmNameInDomArchive - translate an instance identifier into an instance name

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       int pmNameInDomArchive(pmInDom indom, int inst, char **name);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       Provided  that the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) context is asso‐
       ciated with a set of archives, pmNameInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain metadata
       for the instance domain indom, locate the first instance with the internal instance identifier  given  by
       inst, and return the full external instance identification via name.

       This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routine pmNameInDom.

       The  value for the instance domain indom is typically extracted from a pmDesc structure, following a call
       to pmLookupDesc(3) for a particular performance metric.

       The space for the value of name will have been allocated in pmNameInDomArchive with malloc(3), and it  is
       the responsibility of the caller to free(3) the space when it is no longer required.

       pmNameInDomArchive returns zero on success.

DIAGNOSTICS

       PM_ERR_NOTARCHIVE
              the current PMAPI context is not associated with a set of archives

       PM_ERR_INDOM_LOG
              indom is not a defined instance domain identifier for the set of archives

       PM_ERR_INST_LOG
              the instance identifier inst is not known for the instance domain indom in the set of archives
