NAME

       pcp_common_options - common options used in PCP commands

SYNOPSIS

       pcp_command [option...]

DESCRIPTION

       There are some arguments common to all PCP commands. Most of these are for authentication and the rest
       are about verbose mode, debug message, and so on.

OPTIONS

       -h hostname
       --host=hostname
           The host name of the machine on which the server is running. If the value begins with a slash, it is
           used as the directory for the Unix-domain socket.

       -p port
       --port=port
           The PCP port number (default:"9898").

       -U username
       --username=username
           The user name for PCP authentication (default: OS user name).

       -w
       --no-password
           Never prompt for password (should happen automatically). And if a password is not available by a
           .pcppass file, the connection attempt will fail. This option can be useful in batch jobs and scripts
           where no user is present to enter a password.

       -W
       --password
           Force password prompt.

       -d
       --debug
           Enable debug message.

       -v
       --verbose
           Enable verbose output.

       -V
       --version
           Print the command version, then exit.

       -?
       --help
           Shows help for the command line arguments, then exit.

ENVIRONMENT

       PCPPASSFILE
           Specifies the path to pcp password file.
