pmiputvaluehandle(3)

NAME

   pmiPutValueHandle - add a value for a metric-instance pair via a handle

C SYNOPSIS

   #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
   #include <pcp/impl.h>
   #include <pcp/import.h>

   int pmiPutValueHandle(int handle, const char *value);

   cc ... -lpcp_import -lpcp

Perl SYNOPSIS

   use PCP::LogImport;

   pmiPutValueHandle($handle, $value);

DESCRIPTION

   As  part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see LOGIMPORT(3)),
   pmiPutValueHandle adds a single value to the current output record  for
   a  given  metric  and  instance, using the handle defined by an earlier
   call to pmiGetHandle(3).

   The value should be in a format consistent with the  metric's  type  as
   defined in the call to pmiAddMetric(3).

   No  data will be written until pmiWrite(3) is called, so multiple calls
   to pmiPutValueHandle or pmiPutValue(3) are typically used to accumulate
   data   values   for   several   metric-instance  pairs  before  calling
   pmiWrite(3).

DIAGNOSTICS

   pmiPutValueHandle returns zero on success else a  negative  value  that
   can be turned into an error message by calling pmiErrStr(3).

   pmiPutValue(3) and pmiWrite(3).
