12 pmconfig displays the values for some or all configuration parameters
13 of the local Performance Co-Pilot toolkit installation.
14
15 The -L option may be used to change the default reporting mode so that
16 the capabilities of the PCP library are reported, rather than the PCP
17 environment.
18
19 An output format suitable for sourcing in shell scripts can be obtained
20 using the -s option, which ensures configuration information is quoted
21 and preceded by an export statement. When not reporting the library
22 capabilities, this mode will produce a statement that does not override
23 an existing setting in the environment for PCP configuration variables.
24
25 In the default operating mode, pmconfig is often used in conjunction
26 with the $PCP_DIR environment variable to setup scripts running under
27 the Windows operating system, where the filesystem hierarchy differs
28 greatly to the of Linux/UNIX-based operating systems.
29
31 Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
32 file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file
33 /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The
34 $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
35 file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
