17 Provided the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Inter‐
18 face (PMAPI) context is associated with a set of archive logs,
19 pmLookupInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain
20 metadata for the instance domain indom, locate the first instance with
21 the external identification given by name, and return the internal
22 instance identifier.
23
24 This routine is a specialized version of the more general PMAPI routine
25 pmLookupInDom.
26
27 Only the leading non-space characters of name will be used to identify
28 the instance.
29
30 The value for the instance domain indom is typically extracted from a
31 pmDesc structure, following a call to pmLookupDesc(3) for a particular
32 performance metric.
33
34 pmLookupInDomArchive will return a positive instance identifier on suc‐
35 cess.
