SMF real-time interface

Description:
SMF provides an application programming interface (API) that offers real-time access to SMF in-memory resources when running in logstream recording mode. You can use the callable services that comprise the SMF real-time interface from an application program to access SMF records from an in-memory resource as they are written.

The SMF real-time interface provides applications with a high-speed data feed with low system overhead and offers several advantages over using the IEFU83, IEFU84, and IEFU85 user exits to get access to SMF records as they are written.
