NAME         top

       pmSortInstances  - sort performance metric values on instance identi‐
       fier

C SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       void pmSortInstances(pmResult *result);
       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.

SEE ALSO         top

       PMAPI(3) and pmFetch(3).

DIAGNOSTICS         top

       None.
