Описание (Description)
As part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see
PMDA(3)), pmdaText uses the standard PMDA(3) data structures to
return the help text for metric ident in buffer. The help text
must be located in help text files created with newhelp(1), and
the associated files are automatically opened by pmdaInit(3).
The path to the (basename of the) help text files can be set in
the calls to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3) and overridden by the -h
command line option in pmdaGetOpt(3).
The encoding of ident follows the internal scheme used below the
routines pmLookupText(3) and pmLookupInDomText(3), namely ident
encodes either a metric identifier or an instance domain
identifier, according to the value of type.
The type argument is a bit mask that encodes the interpretation
of ident and the requested form of help text, as follows: either
PM_TEXT_PMID if ident is a metric identifier, or PM_TEXT_INDOM if
ident is an instance domain identifier, plus either
PM_TEXT_ONELINE for the one line help text or PM_TEXT_HELP for
the full help text.
The buffer is managed internally (usually it is cached), and it
should not be released or freed by the caller of pmdaText.
Предостережение (Caveat)
The PMDA must be using PMDA_PROTOCOL_2 or later, as specified in
the call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3).
Диагностика (Diagnostic)
If the requested help text could not be obtained, pmdaText will
return PM_ERR_TEXT.
