NAME

       pmfind - find PCP services on the network

SYNOPSIS

       pmfind [-q] [-m mechanism] [-s service]

DESCRIPTION

       pmfind  searches  for instances of the specified PCP service being advertised on the network and prints a
       list of URLs corresponding to the services discovered.

       By default pmfind will search for servers advertising the  pmcd(1)  service,  however  an  alternate  PCP
       service to discover can be specified using the -s option.

       The  -m  option sets the mechanism that pmfind uses when performing service discovery.  By default, or if
       the keyword "all" is specified, every available mechanism will be used (iteratively).  Currently, "avahi"
       is the only supported discovery mechanism.

       The -q option suppresses all output on the standard output stream.

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).

DIAGNOSTICS

       The value of the exit status from the command is zero when services were successfully located, one if  no
       services were found, and two if an error occurred.

       In  the  event  of  an  error, a message will be generated on standard error that is intended to be self-
       explanatory.
