# PCP::LogImport(3pm)

Perl module for importing performance data to create a Performance Co-Pilot archive

## NAME

PCP::LogImport - Perl module for importing performance data to create a Performance Co-Pilot archive

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use PCP::LogImport;
```

## DESCRIPTION

The PCP::LogImport module contains the language bindings for building Perl applications that import performance data from a file or real-time source and create a Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) archive suitable for use with the PCP tools.

The routines in this module provide wrappers around the libpcp\_import library and some of the routines from the libpcp library.
