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 corresponding error text.

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

       Error codes must be less than zero, so if code is a positive 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	configura-
       tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
