Purpose

Library

SPMI Library (libSpmi.a)

Syntax

#include sys/Spmidef.h

struct SpmiStat *SpmiGetStat(StatHandle)
SpmiStatHdl StatHandle;

Description

The SpmiGetStat subroutine returns a pointer to the SpmiStat structure corresponding to the statistic handle identified by the StatHandle parameter.

This subroutine is part of the server option of the Performance Aide for AIX® licensed product.

Parameters

StatHandle

Specifies a valid SpmiStatHdl handle as obtained by another subroutine call.

Return Values

The SpmiGetStat subroutine returns a pointer to a structure of type SpmiStat if successful. If unsuccessful, the subroutine returns a NULL value.

Error Codes

All SPMI subroutines use external variables to provide error information. To access these variables, an application program must define the following external variables:

• extern char SpmiErrmsg[];
• extern int SpmiErrno;

If the subroutine returns without an error, the SpmiErrno variable is set to 0 and the SpmiErrmsg character array is empty. If an error is detected, the SpmiErrno variable returns an error code, as defined in the sys/Spmidef.h file, and the SpmiErrmsg variable contains text, in English, explaining the cause of the error.
