PMID_BUILD(3)

💖 PMID_BUILD(3) 💖

ok so this is a Library Functions Manual page, bestie, and it's all about pmID_build, pmID_domain, pmID_cluster, pmID_item — the lil helper squad for messing with PMIDs ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

pmID_build, pmID_domain, pmID_cluster, pmID_item — helper methods for manipulating PMIDs 🫶

---

✨ C SYNOPSIS ✨

ok here's the whole vibe, copy it exactly bestie:

#include <pcp/pmapi.h>

pmID pmID_build(unsigned int domain, unsigned int cluster,
                unsigned int item);
unsigned int pmID_domain(pmID pmid);
unsigned int pmID_cluster(pmID pmid);
unsigned int pmID_item(pmID pmid);

cc ... -lpcp

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so inside the Performance Co-Pilot (aka PCP) every single metric gets its own unique lil name tag, and that's the Performance Metric Identifier — the pmID 👑 iconic, no notes.

and lowkey the way a pmID is built internally? it's 3 fields, periodt:

• the domain number — that's the domain of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent it belongs to, aka the PMDA
• the cluster number
• the item number

and just so you know, those last two are assigned by the PMDA itself, fr fr 🦋

• pmID_build — constructs a pmID out of domain, cluster and item. it's giving assembly line but make it cute ✨
• pmID_domain, pmID_cluster and pmID_item — these three return the respective fields from pmid. like little peek-holes into the struct, we love to see it 💖
