12 pmhostname reports the name of the host hostname as returned by geth‐
13 ostbyname(3N).
14
15 If hostname is not specified, then the local host name is retrieved
16 using gethostname(2) and this is than passed to gethostbyname(3N).
17
18 pmhostname provides a service for shell scripts that mimics the logic
19 used by Performance Co-Pilot applications when trying to determine the
20 official name of a host.
21
22 If gethostbyname(3N) fails, the input host name (either hostname or the
23 result from calling gethostname(2)) is reported.
24
26 Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
27 file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file
28 /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The
29 $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
30 file, as described in pcp.conf(4).
