NAME
       pmPrintValue - print a performance metric value
C SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       void  pmPrintValue(FILE  *f,  int  valfmt, int type, const
       pmValue *val, int minwidth)
       cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
       The value of a single performance metric (as identified by
       val)  is  printed on the standard I/O stream identified by
       f.
       The value of the performance metric is interpreted accord
       ing  to  the  format  of  val as defined by valfmt (from a
       pmValueSet within a pmResult  structure;  see  pmFetch(3))
       and  the generic description of the metrics type passed in
       via type.
       The value for type is typically extracted  from  a  pmDesc
       structure,  following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a par
       ticular performance metric.
       The output will be optionally padded to be at  least  min
       width characters wide.
       pmPrintValue  is most useful for displaying values of per
       formance metrics from pmFetch(3) (which returns a  set  of
       valfmt  and  val  pairs  for each requested metric), based
       upon the metrics type as returned from pmLookupDesc(3).
