NAME         top

       PMAPI_INTERNAL  - internal details for the Performance Metrics Appli‐
       cation Programming Interface

C SYNOPSIS         top

       #include "libpcp.h"

        ... assorted routines ...

       cc ... -lpcp

CAVEAT         top

       This documentation is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot
       (PCP) developer use.

       These interfaces are not part of the PCP APIs that are guaranteed to
       remain fixed across releases, and they may not work, or may provide
       different semantics at some point in the future.

DESCRIPTION         top

       Refer to PMAPI(3) for general information about the external
       interfaces defined in <pcp/pmapi.h>.  The interfaces described here
       assume that context.

MULTI-THREADED APPLICATIONS         top

       The following groups of internal functions and services in libpcp are
       restricted to being called from a single-thread, and this is enforced
       by returning PM_ERR_THREAD when an attempt to call the routines in
       each group from more than one thread is detected.

       1.  The interval timer services use global state with semantics that
           demand it is only used in the context of a single thread, so
           __pmAFregister(3), __pmAFunregister(3), __pmAFblock(3),
           __pmAFunblock (3) and __pmAFisempty(3).

       2.  The following access control manipulation routines that are
           principally intended for single-threaded applications:
           __pmAccAddOp, __pmAccSaveHosts, __pmAccRestoreHosts,
           __pmAccFreeSavedHosts, __pmAccAddHost, __pmAccAddClient,
           __pmAccDelClient and __pmAccDumpHosts.

       3.  The following routines that identify pmlogger control ports and
           are principally intended for single-threaded applications:
           __pmLogFindPort and __pmLogFindLocalPorts.
