RSiPathAddSetStat or RSiPathAddSetStatx Subroutine

Purpose

Add a single statistics value to an already defined SpmiStatSet.

Library

RSI Library (libSpmi.a)

Syntax

#include sys/Rsi.h

struct SpmiStatVals *RSiPathAddSetStat (rhandle, statset,
path)
RSiHandle rhandle;
struct SpmiStatSet *statset;
char *path;

struct SpmiStatVals *RSiPathAddSetStatx (rhandlex, statset,
path)
RSiHandle rhandlex;
struct SpmiStatSet *statset;
char *path;

Parameters

rhandle

Must point to a valid RSiHandle handle, which was previously initialized by the RSiOpen subroutine.

rhandle

Must point to a valid RSiHandlex handle, which was previously initialized by the RSiOpenx subroutine.

statset

Must be a pointer to a structure of type struct SpmiStatSet, which was previously returned by a successful RSiCreateStatSet or RSiCreateStatSetx subroutine call.

path

Must be the full value path name of the statistics value to add to the SpmiStatSet. The value path name must not include a terminating slash. Note that value path names never start with a slash.

Return Values

If successful, the subroutine returns a pointer to a structure of type struct SpmiStatVals. If an error occurs, NULL is returned and an error text may be placed in the external character array RSiEMsg. If you attempt to add more values to a statset than the current local buffer size allows, RSiErrno is set to RSiTooMany. If you attempt to add more values than the buffer size of the remote host's xmservd daemon allows, RSiErrno is set to RSiBadStat and the status field in the returned packet is set to too_many_values.

The external integer RSiMaxValues holds the maximum number of values acceptable with the data-consumer's buffer size.

Error Codes

All Remote Statistic Interface (RSI) subroutines use external variables to provide error information. To access these variables, an application program must define the following external variables:

• extern char RSiEMsg[];
• extern int RSiErrno;

If the subroutine returns without an error, the RSiErrno variable is set to RSiOkay and the RSiEMsg character array is empty. If an error is detected, the RSiErrno variable returns an error code, as defined in the enum RSiErrorType.
