       a string

Синопсис C (C Synopsis)

#include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       const char *pmAtomStr(const pmAtomValue *avp, int type);
       char *pmAtomStr_r(const pmAtomValue *avp, int type, char *buf,
       int buflen);

Описание (Description)

All performance metric values may be encoded in a pmAtomValue
       union, defined as follows;

            typedef union {
                __int32_t    l;     /* 32-bit signed */
                __uint32_t   ul;    /* 32-bit unsigned */
                __int64_t    ll;    /* 64-bit signed */
                __uint64_t   ull;   /* 64-bit unsigned */
                float        f;     /* 32-bit floating point */
                double       d;     /* 64-bit floating point */
                char         *cp;   /* char ptr */
                pmValueBlock *vbp;  /* pmValueBlock ptr */
            } pmAtomValue;

       Given the performance metric value pointed to by avp, and a
       performance metric type defined by type, pmAtomStr will generate
       the corresponding metric value as a string, suitable for
       diagnostic or report output.  The pmAtomStr_r function does the
       same, but stores the result in a user-supplied buffer buf of
       length buflen, which should have room for at least 80 bytes.

       The value for type is typically extracted from a pmDesc
       structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a particular
       performance metric.

       If the type is PM_TYPE_STRING values longer than 38 characters
       will be truncated after 34 characters, and truncation shown with
       ellipsis ``...'' at the end of the value.

       If the type is PM_TYPE_AGGREGATE then up to the first three
       32-bit words are displayed as hexadecimal values.

       If the type is PM_TYPE_EVENT then a summary of the number of
       event records found in the value is generated.

       The return value from pmAtomStr is held in a single static
       buffer, so the returned value is only valid until the next call
       to pmAtomStr.

Примечание (Note)

pmAtomStr returns a pointer to a static buffer and hence is not
       thread-safe.  Multi-threaded applications should use pmAtomStr_r
       instead.
