NAMEpmAtomStr, pmAtomStr_r − convert a performance metric value into a string

---

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); cc ... −lpcp

---

DESCRIPTIONAll 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.

---

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