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.

OPTIONS

       The available command line options are:

       -l, --list
            This alternative invocation causes all known error codes to be listed,  along  with  their  symbolic
            names and error text.

       -?, --help
            Display usage message and exit.

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(5).
