NAME
pmdbg - translate Performance Co-Pilot debug control flags
SYNOPSIS
pmdbg code ...
pmdbg -l
DESCRIPTION
The components of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) use a global vector of
bit-fields to control diagnostic and debug output.
pmdbg with a -l argument prints out the mnemonic and decimal values of
all the bit-fields in the debug control vector.
In the alternative usage, the code arguments are values for the debug
vector, and the bit-fields that are enabled by each of these values is
listed.
Each code may be an integer, a hexadecimal value or a hexadecimal value
prefixed by either ‘‘0x’’ or ‘‘0X’’.
Most applications using the facilities of the PCP support a -DN
command-line syntax to enable debug control. pmdbg is designed to help
choose an appropriate value for N.
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).
