NAME

       pmconfig - Performance Co-Pilot configuration parameters

SYNOPSIS

       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmconfig [-a|-l] [-L] [-s] [name ...]

DESCRIPTION

       pmconfig  displays  the values for some or all configuration parameters of the local Performance Co-Pilot
       toolkit installation.

       The -L option may be used to change the default reporting mode  so  that  the  capabilities  of  the  PCP
       library are reported, rather than the PCP environment.

       An  output  format  suitable  for  sourcing  in  shell scripts can be obtained using the -s option, which
       ensures configuration information is quoted and preceded by an export statement.  When not reporting  the
       library  capabilities,  this  mode will produce a statement that does not override an existing setting in
       the environment for PCP configuration variables.

       In the default operating mode, pmconfig is often  used  in  conjunction  with  the  $PCP_DIR  environment
       variable  to  setup  scripts  running  under the Windows operating system, where the filesystem hierarchy
       differs greatly to the of Linux/UNIX-based operating systems.

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).
