NAME
__pmLogMetaTypeStr, __pmLogMetaTypeStr_r - convert an archive
metadata record type into a string
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>

const char *__pmLogMetaTypeStr(int type);
char *__pmLogMetaTypeStr_r(int type, char *buf, int buflen);

CAVEAT
This documentation is intended for internal Performance Co-Pilot
(PCP) developer use.
These interfaces are not part of the PCP APIs that are guaranteed
to remain fixed across releases, and they may not work, or may
provide different semantics at some point in the future.
DESCRIPTION
Given a numeric archive metadata record type (type),
__pmLogMetaTypeStr produces the ASCII name of that record type,
else UNKNOWN if type is not a valid record type.
__pmLogMetaTypeStr_r function does the same, but stores the
result in a user-supplied buffer buf of length buflen, which
should have room for at least 17 bytes.
Examples are DESC (for type equals 1), INDOM_V2 (for type equals
2), etc.
NOTES
Both of these functions are safe to call from threaded contexts.
