NAME
pmFreeResult - release storage allocated for performance
metrics values
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
void pmFreeResult(pmResult *result)
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
The variable sized results returned by pmFetch(3) are
allocated below the Performance Metrics Application Pro
gramming Interface (PMAPI) using a combination of dynamic
(i.e. malloc(3)) and specialized allocation strategies.
Applications should call pmFreeResult to release the stor
age previously allocated for result by pmFetch(3), when
the application no longer requires access to the pmResult
structure.
Under no circumstances should an application use
free(result) to release storage previously allocated for a
pmResult by pmFetch(3).
