Format PMDF channel counter information.

int POPSTORE_format_counters (format, channel, channel_len, context, output_proc) POPSTORE_format_element *format; char *channel; int channel_len; void *context; int (*output_proc)();

Arguments

format

Pointer to a formatting context returned by a previous call to POPSTORE_format_read. Used for input only.

channel

Name of the channel to display information for. This name can contain wild card characters. Used for input only.

channel_len

Length in bytes of the string passed in channel. Used for input only.

context

Pointer to private client data to be passed to the client-supplied output_proc procedure. Used for input only.

output_proc

Address of a client-supplied subroutine to call to output formatted data. Used for input only.

Description

PMDF channel counter information can be formatted with POPSTORE_format_counters. The channel name is case insensitive and can contain wild card characters. To format information for all channels, either specify asterisk, "*", for the channel name or pass a null for channel and the value 0 for channel_len. The formatting context should be derived from a formatting file using substitution strings from Tables 4-10 and 4-20. Formatted data is passed to the output procedure output_proc. That procedure takes the form

int output_proc (context, data, data_len, is_eol, is_literal) void *context; char *data; int data_len; int is_eol; int is_literal;

where the arguments to output_proc are as follows:

context	Pointer to the private client data supplied as input to POPSTORE_format_counters.
data	Formatted data to output. This string can not be null terminated.
data_len	Length in bytes of the data pointed at by data.
is_eol	When is_eol has a non-zero value, the output_proc procedure can want to output an end-of-line after this batch of formatted data.
is_literal	When is_literal has a non-zero value, the output_proc procedure should not apply any quoting to the formatted data. The formatted data is literal data which was contained within the formatting file.

Upon successful completion, output_proc should return the value POPSTORE_SUCCESS. In the event of an error, some value other than POPSTORE_SUCCESS should be returned. A user-requested abort can be signified by returning POPSTORE_ABORT.

Return Values

POPSTORE_SUCCESS	Normal, successful completion.
POPSTORE_BADARG	Bad value passed for the address of the output procedure, output_proc.
	Any error value returned by the output procedure, output_proc.
