17 Within the libraries and applications of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)
18 there is an extensive set of debugging options that may be enabled or
19 disabled at run-time.
20
21 Both pmSetDebug and pmClearDebug parse spec assuming it to be a comma
22 separated list of PCP debug option names.
23
24 The names of the available options may be found using the -l argument
25 to pmdbg(1).
26
27 As a special case, the name ``all'' is treated as a synonym for identi‐
28 fying all option names.
29
30 pmSetDebug will set the corresponding options, while pmClearDebug will
31 clear the corresponding options.
32
33 Consecutive calls to either routine will be additive. For example the
34 following code fragments are equivalent in terms of the final configu‐
35 ration of the debug options.
36
37 sts = pmClearDebug("all");
38 sts = pmSetDebug("appl0");
39 sts = pmSetDebug("pdu,fetch");
40 sts = pmSetDebug("fetch,profile,context");
41 sts = pmClearDebug("appl0");
42
43 sts = pmClearDebug("all");
44 sts = pmSetDebug("pdu,fetch,profile,context");
45
46 An earlier implementation of the PCP debug facilities used a bit-vector
47 and for backwards compatibility the elements of spec may include deci‐
48 mal values corresponding to those bit-values. Refer to pmdbg(1) for
49 more details of this deprecated format.

55 If successful, these routines return 0, otherwise the return is
56 PM_ERR_CONV to indicate a parsing error.
