DESCRIPTION
As part of the Performance Co-Pilot Log Import API (see LOGIMPORT(3)), pmiUseContext may be used by applications wishing to generate more than one PCP archive concurrently.

The context argument is a value returned from a previous call to pmiStart(3) and on successful return from pmiUseContext, the current context will have been changed to the one identified by context.

DIAGNOSTICS
pmiUseContext returns zero on success else a negative value that can be turned into an error message by calling pmiErrStr(3).
