CAVEAT top

       This  documentation  is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot
       (PCP) developer use.

       These interfaces are not part of the PCP APIs that are  guaranteed
       to  remain  fixed  across  releases, and they may not work, or may
       provide different semantics at some point in the future.

DESCRIPTION top

       Given a numeric archive  metadata  record  type  (type),  __pmLog‐
       MetaTypeStr  produces the ASCII name of that record type, else UN‐
       KNOWN if type is not a valid  record  type.   __pmLogMetaTypeStr_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
       17 bytes.

       Examples  are  DESC (for type equals 1), INDOM_V2 (for type equals
       2), etc.

NOTES top

       Both of these functions are safe to call from threaded contexts.
