NAME
pmLookupInDomArchive - translate an instance name into an instance
identifier
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmLookupInDomArchive(pmInDom indom, const char *name)
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
Provided the current Performance Metrics Application Programming
Interface (PMAPI) context is associated with an archive log,
pmLookupInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain
metadata for the instance domain indom, locate the first instance with
the external identification given by name, and return the internal
instance identifier.
This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routine
pmLookupInDom.
Only the leading non-space characters of name will be used to identify
the instance.
The value for the instance domain indom is typically extracted from a
pmDesc structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a particular
performance metric.
pmLookupInDomArchive will return a positive instance identifier on
success.
