DESCRIPTION         top

       The pmSearchSetup and related API functions prepare an
       application for accessing the fast and scalable metric, instance
       and instance domain, fulltext capable, searching functionality of
       the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP).

       This functionality is provided trough asynchronous APIs, which
       function in event-driven fashion. The interface described here
       prepare a given search module which associates callback routines
       with certain asynchronous events that occur as part of servicing
       search requests.

       As a general pattern, all interfaces in these APIs that need to
       invoke callbacks provided by the calling program will take an
       opaque (void * pointer) arg parameter.  This pointer will be
       passed through unchanged and is typically used to access a data
       structure maintaining state within the calling program.

       Where asynchronous setup is required by pmSearchSetup its
       completion will be indicated throught use of the on_setup
       callback, which is part of the passed in pmSearchModule
       structure. This structure also provides for custom diagnostics
       handling, through the on_info callback. These are self-
       explanatory, see <pcp/pmwebapi.h> for exact calling conventions.

       The callbacks registered by pmSearchSetup to handle events are as
       follows:

       pmSearchTextResultCallBack on_text_result
            Callback is called once for each item of search result that
            matches a given query passed by pmSearchTextInDom(3),
            pmSearchTextQuery(3), pmSearchTextSuggest(3).

       pmSearchMetricsCallBack on_metrics
            Callback is called for results of a call to pmSearchInfo(3).

       pmSearchDoneCallBack on_done
            On completion of all asynchronous interfaces that return
            success (zero return code), this callback will be called.
            It provides a status code indicating overall success (zero)
            or failure (negative PMAPI code) of the operation.

       The helper functions pmSearchSetSlots (redis),
       pmSearchSetEventLoop (libuv), pmSearchSetConfiguration
       (configuration file) and pmSearchSetMetricRegistry (MMV
       instrumentation) interfaces provide a mechanism for passing in
       state for each of the associated subsystems.

       Finally, a call to pmSearchClose is used to end services
       available from a search module previously enstablished through
       pmSearchSetup.

       Within PCP, the pmproxy(1) and pmsearch(1) utilities are the
       primary users of the interfaces, providing REST API and command
       line search services respectively.

DIAGNOSTICS         top

       Where these functions return a status code, this is always zero
       on success.  On failure a negative PMAPI error code is returned.
