NAME         top

       mmv_set, mmv_set_value, mmv_set_atomvalue - set a value in a
       Memory Mapped Value file

C SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
       #include <pcp/mmv_stats.h>

       void mmv_set(void *addr, pmAtomValue *av, void *val);
       void mmv_set_value(void *addr, pmAtomValue *av, double val);
       void mmv_set_atomvalue(void *addr, pmAtomValue *av, pmAtomValue
       *val);

DESCRIPTION         top

       mmv_set, mmv_set_value and mmv_set_atomvalue provide convenient
       ways of directly setting a value for a metric av previously
       returned by the mmv_lookup_value_desc(3) interface.  addr is the
       address returned from mmv_stats_init(3).

       These interfaces are typically used with instantaneous and
       discrete metrics.  Refer to mmv_inc_value(3) for a mechanism
       suited to monotonic increasing counter metrics.

       With mmv_set and mmv_set_atomvalue the value provided via the val
       pointer must match the type of the metric and will be used as the
       new value of the metric.

       In the case of mmv_set and mmv_set_value, the pointer value val
       is internally cast to match the type of the metric and then used
       as the value for the metric.
