== NAME
nng_stat_unit - get statistic unit
== SYNOPSIS
[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>
typedef struct nng_stat nng_stat;
enum {
NNG_UNIT_NONE,
NNG_UNIT_BYTES,
NNG_UNIT_MESSAGES,
NNG_UNIT_MILLIS,
NNG_UNIT_EVENTS
};
int nng_stat_unit(nng_stat *stat);
----
== DESCRIPTION
The `nng_stat_unit()` function returns the unit of quantity measured
by the statistic _stat_.
The returned value will be one of the following values:
((`NNG_UNIT_NONE`))::
There are no particular units measured.
In some cases there may be units, but the type of the unit will be obvious
from the name (see xref:nng_stat_name.3.adoc[`nng_stat_name()`]) of the statistic.
((`NNG_UNIT_BYTES`))::
The statistic is a count of bytes.
((`NNG_UNIT_MESSAGES`))::
The statistic is a count of messages.
Typically, one message corresponds to a single xref:nng_msg.5.adoc[`nng_msg`] structure.
((`NNG_UNIT_MILLIS`))::
The statistic is a count of milliseconds.
((`NNG_STAT_EVENTS`))::
The statistic is a count of some other type of event.
For statistics that are neither `NNG_STAT_COUNTER` nor `NNG_STAT_LEVEL`
type (see xref:nng_stat_type.3.adoc[`nng_stat_type()`]), the unit will
generally be `NNG_UNIT_NONE`.
TIP: Normally rates can be calculated for `NNG_STAT_COUNTER` values for
any of these units, but for `NNG_UNIT_MILLIS` rate calculations are generally
meaningless.
== RETURN VALUES
The units measured by _stat_.
== ERRORS
None.
