NAME top

 pmUnloadNameSpace - unload a local performance metrics name space
 for an application

C SYNOPSIS top

 #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
 void pmUnloadNameSpace(void);
 cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION top

 If one has previously loaded a local Name Space using
 pmLoadNameSpace(3) or pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3), then calling
 pmUnloadNameSpace(3) will free up the memory associated with the
 Name Space and force all subsequent PMNS routine calls to use the
 distributed PMNS. If pmUnloadNameSpace(3) is called before call‐
 ing pmLoadNameSpace(3) or pmLoadASCIINameSpace(3), then it will
 effectively do nothing.
