       When  pmRegisterDerived(3)  is  called to add a new derived metric
       definition and an error occurs, pmDerivedErrStr may be  called  to
       return the associated error message.

       The pmRegisterDerivedMetric interface provides a convenience wrap‐
       per around both pmRegisterDerived and pmDerivedErrStr.
