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).
