NAME

       pmFreeResult - release storage allocated for performance metrics values

C SYNOPSIS

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       void pmFreeResult(pmResult *result)

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION

       The variable sized results returned by pmFetch(3) are  allocated  below
       the Performance Metrics Application Programming Interface (PMAPI) using
       a combination of dynamic (i.e. malloc(3))  and  specialized  allocation
       strategies.

       Applications should call pmFreeResult to release the storage previously
       allocated for result by pmFetch(3),  when  the  application  no  longer
       requires access to the pmResult structure.

       Under  no  circumstances  should  an  application  use  free(result) to
       release storage previously allocated for a pmResult by pmFetch(3).
