NAME         top

       pmNoMem - report out of memory conditions

C SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>

       void pmNoMem(const char *where, size_t size, int fatal);

       cc ... -lpcp

DESCRIPTION         top

       pmNoMem is a convenience method that may be used when malloc(3) or a
       related memory allocation service fails.

       A standard message is emitted using pmNotifyErr(3) with where used as
       a message prefix and the failing allocation size is also reported.

       If fatal is zero (and PM_RECOV_ERR is zero), pmNoMem returns (the
       allocation failure is assumed to be recoverable by the caller), else
       (and PM_FATAL_ERR is a good value to use in this case) exit(2) is
       called with an argument of 1.

       exit(2), malloc(3), PMAPI(3) and pmNotifyErr(3).
