pmdaDesc uses the standard PMDA(3) data structures to return the pmDesc description in desc for the metric identified by pmid.

The PMDA must be using PMDA_INTERFACE_2 or later, as specified in the call to pmdaDSO(3) or pmdaDaemon(3).

If the pmid does not correspond to any metric supported by this PMDA, pmdaDesc returns PM_ERR_PMID.
