NAME

6       pmdbg - translate Performance Co-Pilot debug control flags
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pmdbg code ...
10       pmdbg -l
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The components of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) use a global vector of
14       bit-fields to control diagnostic and debug output.
15
16       pmdbg with a -l argument prints out the mnemonic and decimal values  of
17       all the bit-fields in the debug control vector.
18
19       In  the  alternative usage, the code arguments are values for the debug
20       vector, and the bit-fields that are enabled by each of these values  is
21       listed.
22
23       Each code may be an integer, a hexadecimal value or a hexadecimal value
24       prefixed by either ``0x'' or ``0X''.
25
26       Most applications using the facilities of the PCP support  a  -DN  com‐
27       mand-line  syntax  to  enable debug control.  pmdbg is designed to help
28       choose an appropriate value for N.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

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(4).
