+.SH DESCRIPTION
+As part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see
+.BR LOGIMPORT (3)),
+these routines provide 
+convenience methods (especially for script use) for constructing
+.BR pmID ,
+.B pmInDom
+and
+.B pmUnits
+structures respectively, to be used in subsequent calls to
+.BR pmiAddMetric (3)
+and
+.BR pmiAddInstance (3).
+.PP
+Refer to
+.BR pmLookupDesc (3)
+for a complete description of the values and semantics of the
+components of a
+.B pmUnits
+structure, and hence the valid argument values for
+.BR pmiUnits .
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+None.

+.BR pmiAddMetric (3),
+.BR pmiAddInstance (3)
+and
+.BR pmLookupDesc (3).
