NAME

       pmSortInstances - sort performance metric values on instance identifier

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       void pmSortInstances(pmResult *result);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       The  routine  pmSortInstances may be used to guarantee that for each performance metric in
       the result from pmFetch(3), the instances are in ascending instance identifier sequence.

       This is most useful when trying to compute rates from two consecutive pmFetch(3) results.

       None.
