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 deci­
       mal values of all the bit-fields in the debug control vec­
       tor.

       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 hex­
       adecimal 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(4).
