👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 — this whole thing is part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (peep LOGIMPORT(3) if you wanna get the full lore). and what pmiSetVersion does is it sets the output archive version in the current context to be value. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic honestly. 💅

now here's the important bit, no cap: if you never call pmiSetVersion at all, the version just defaults to the traditional v2 format. but heads up 👀 — in a future major version of PCP, it's gonna default to v3 format instead. so like, don't get too comfy assuming v2 forever, yk? plan accordingly. 🌈

---

😭 DIAGNOSTICS 😭

pmiSetVersion returns zero on success 🫶 — but if things go sideways it returns a negative value instead. and you can turn that sad little negative number into an actual error message by calling pmiErrStr(3). so don't just sit there staring at the negative number, go get the explanation. 💀
