PMIERRSTR(3)             Library Functions Manual            PMIERRSTR(3)
       pmiErrStr, pmiErrStr_r - convert a LOGIMPORT error code into a
       string
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/import.h>
       const char *pmiErrStr(int code);
       char *pmiErrStr_r(int code, char buf, int buflen);
       cc ... -lpcp_import -lpcp
       use PCP::LogImport;
       pmiErrStr($code);
       As   part   of  the  Performance  Co-Pilot  Log  Import  API  (see
       LOGIMPORT(3)), pmiErrStr translates error codes returned from  the
       other routines in the Log Import library into printable error mes‐
       sages.
       code  would normally have a negative value.  As a special case, if
       code is -1 then the error code  returned  from  the  last  routine
       called in the LOGIMPORT library for this context will be used.
       The pmiErrStr_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 PMI_MAXERRMSGLEN bytes.
       The set of possible error codes and messages is all those  defined
       by  pmErrStr(3)  and PCPIntro(3), plus the additional ones defined
       in <pcp/import.h> with error code names of the form PMI_ERR_....
       LOGIMPORT(3), PCPIntro(3) and pmErrStr(3).
