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(5).
