DESCRIPTION         top

       As   part   of  the  Performance  Co-Pilot  Log  Import  API  (see
       LOGIMPORT(3)), pmiUseContext may be used by  applications  wishing
       to generate more than one PCP archive concurrently.

       The  context  argument is a value returned from a previous call to
       pmiStart(3) and on successful return from pmiUseContext, the  cur‐
       rent  context will have been changed to the one identified by con‐
       text.

DIAGNOSTICS         top

       pmiUseContext returns zero on success else a negative  value  that
       can be turned into an error message by calling pmiErrStr(3).

SEE ALSO         top

       LOGIMPORT(3), pmiErrStr(3) and pmiStart(3).
