NAME
       __pmLogMetaTypeStr, __pmLogMetaTypeStr_r - convert an archive metadata
       record type into a string

C SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/libpcp.h>

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

       cc ... -lpcp

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.
