NAME

       pmerr  -  translate  Performance Co-Pilot error codes into
       error messages


SYNOPSIS

       pmerr code ...
       pmerr -l


DESCRIPTION

       pmerr accepts standard Performance  Co-Pilot  (PCP)  error
       codes  via  the  code argument(s) and generates the corre­
       sponding error text.

       Each code may be an integer, a hexadecimal value or a hex­
       adecimal value prefixed by either ``0x'' or ``0X''.

       Error  codes must be less than zero, so if code is a posi­
       tive number,  a  warning  message  is  produced,  and  the
       negated value is used.

       The  alternative  use  of  the  -l option causes all known
       error codes to be listed, along with their symbolic  names
       and error text.


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).
