17 Provided the current Performance Metrics Application Programming Inter‐
18 face (PMAPI) context is associated with a set of archive logs, pm‐
19 LookupInDomArchive will scan the union of all the instance domain meta‐
20 data for the instance domain indom, locate the first instance with the
21 external identification given by name, and return the internal instance
22 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.

38 PM_ERR_NOTARCHIVE
39 the current PMAPI context is not associated with a set of ar‐
40 chive logs
41
42 PM_ERR_INDOM_LOG
43 indom is not a defined instance domain identifier for the set of
44 archive logs
45
46 PM_ERR_INST_LOG
47 the external instance name is not known for the instance domain
48 indom in the set of archive logs
