NAME

6       __pmParseDebug - convert a list of debug flags into an integer
7

C SYNOPSIS

9       #include <pcp/pmapi.h>
10       #include <pcp/impl.h>
11
12       int __pmParseDebug(const char *spec)

DESCRIPTION

17       __pmParseDebug  parses spec assuming it to be a comma separated list of
18       PCP debug flags.
19
20       Each flag may be specified as an integer or the trailing portion of the
21       symbolic  name of the corresponding flag as reported by pmdbg(1).  Sym‐
22       bolic names are stripped of the ``DBG_TRACE_'' prefix and may appear in
23       either case.
24
25       As  a  special  case, the values ``-1'' and ``ALL'' are treated as syn‐
26       onyms for turning on all bits except the sign bit in the  result,  i.e.
27       INT_MAX from <limits.h>.
28
29       For   example   the   debug   flag   DBG_TRACE_FETCH   is   defined  in
30       /usr/include/pcp/impl.h and may be specified in spec  as  2,  FETCH  or
31       fetch.

DIAGNOSTICS

37       If  successful,  __pmParseDebug  returns the value computed by the bit-
38       wise ``or'' of each flag in the spec, suitable  for  assigning  to  the
39       global  debug  trace  control  variable  pmDebug.  Otherwise the return
40       value is less than 0 to indicate a parsing error.
