PMWHICHCONTEXT(3)         Library Functions Manual         PMWHICHCONTEXT(3)

NAME top

       pmWhichContext - identify the current PMAPI context

C SYNOPSIS top

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       int pmWhichContext(void);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION top

       An application using the Performance Metrics Application Programming
       Interface (PMAPI) may manipulate several concurrent contexts, each
       associated with a source of performance metrics, e.g. pmcd(1) on some
       host, or an archive log of performance metrics as created by
       pmlogger(1).

       pmWhichContext returns a handle for the current PMAPI context, that
       may be used in the associated PMAPI routines that require a handle to
       identify a PMAPI context.

SEE ALSO top

       PMAPI(3), pmDestroyContext(3), pmDupContext(3), pmNewContext(3) and
       pmUseContext(3).

DIAGNOSTICS top
