       pmdaProfile - update instance profile for PMDA in preparation for the
       next fetch from PMCD

C SYNOPSIS
       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

DESCRIPTION
       As part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see
       PMDA(3)), pmdaProfile is the default callback which handles the receipt
       of a pmProfile from pmcd(1).  A profile describes the instances that
       pmcd requires in the pmResult structure returned by the next fetch.
       pmdaProfile simply stores the new profile.

CAVEAT
       The PMDA must be using PMDA_INTERFACE_2 or later, as specified in the
       call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3).
