.SH DESCRIPTION
As part of the Performance Metrics Domain Agent (PMDA) API (see
.BR PMDA (3)),
.BR pmdaStore
is the generic callback for storing a value into a metric.
.B pmdaStore
is usually a no-op as, by default, no metrics can be altered.
Also, the implementation of a store callback which does permit
metrics to be altered by
.BR pmstore (1)
is very application dependent.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.B
pmdaStore
returns
.B PM_ERR_PERMISSION
to indicate that no metrics may be modified.
.SH CAVEAT
The PMDA must be using
.B PMDA_PROTOCOL_2
or later, as specified in the call to
.BR pmdaDSO (3)
or
.BR pmdaDaemon (3).

.BR pmstore (1),
.BR PMAPI (3),

.BR pmdaDaemon (3),
.BR pmdaDSO (3)
and
