  19.      An application using the Performance Metrics Application Programming
  20.      Interface (PMAPI) may manipulate several concurrent contexts, each
  21.      associated with a source of performance metrics, e.g. ppppmmmmccccdddd(1) on some
  22.      host, or an archive log of performance metrics as created by ppppmmmmllllooooggggggggeeeerrrr(1).
  23.  
  24.      Calling ppppmmmmDDDDuuuuppppCCCCoooonnnntttteeeexxxxtttt will replicate the current PMAPI context, returning
  25.      a handle for the new context that may be used with subsequent calls to
  26.      ppppmmmmUUUUsssseeeeCCCCoooonnnntttteeeexxxxtttt(3).
  27.  
  28.      Once created, the duplicated context and the original context have
  29.      independent existence, and so their instance profiles and collection time
  30.      may be independently varied.
  31.  
  32.      The newly replicated context becomes the current context.
