NAME         top

       pmNameInDomArchive   -  translate  an  instance  identifier  into  an
       instance name

C SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       int pmNameInDomArchive(pmInDom indom, int inst, char **name);
       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION         top

       Provided that the current Performance Metrics Application Programming
       Interface (PMAPI) context is associated with a set of archive logs,
       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         top

       PM_ERR_NOTARCHIVE
              the current PMAPI context is not associated with a set of
              archive logs
       PM_ERR_INDOM_LOG
              indom is not a defined instance domain identifier for the set
              of archive logs
       PM_ERR_INST_LOG
              the instance identifier inst is not known for the instance
              domain indom in the set of archive logs
