NAME
pmerr - translate Performance Co-Pilot error codes into error messages
SYNOPSIS
pmerr code ...
pmerr -l
DESCRIPTION
pmerr accepts standard Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) error codes via the
code argument(s) and generates the corresponding error text.
Each code may be an integer, a hexadecimal value or a hexadecimal value
prefixed by either ‘‘0x’’ or ‘‘0X’’.
Error codes must be less than zero, so if code is a positive number, a
warning message is produced, and the negated value is used.
The alternative use of the -l option causes all known error codes to be
listed, along with their symbolic names and error text.
PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file
/etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables. The
$PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
file, as described in pcp.conf(4).
