NAME
nng_stat_type - get statistic type
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The nng_stat_type() function returns the type of the statistic stat.
The returned type will be one of the following values:
NNG_STAT_SCOPE-
This is a placeholder providing scope, and carries no value on its own. Instead it is a parent node with child statistics (see
nng_stat_child().) NNG_STAT_LEVEL-
This is a numeric statistic, but its value is a level, so rate calculations based on changes in this value should not be considered significant.
NNG_STAT_COUNTER-
This is a numeric statistic that represents an increasing count, typically of events, messages, or bytes. Frequently, it is interesting to consider changes in this statistic divided by time to obtain a rate. (For example, throughput might be calculated as changes in a byte counter divided by the interval over which the change occurred.)
NNG_STAT_STRING-
This is a string, and carries no numeric value. Instead the
nng_stat_string()function should be used to obtain the value. NNG_STAT_BOOLEAN-
This is a boolean value. The
nng_stat_value()function will return zero to represent afalsevalue, and one to represent atruevalue.
NNG_STAT_ID:
The statistic is a numeric ID.
These are generally immutable values that represent an identity that might
be used with another interface.
For NNG_STAT_COUNTER and NNG_STAT_LEVEL statistics, the
nng_stat_unit() function will provide more
detail about the units measured by the static.
