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 decimal values of all the bit-fields in the debug control vector.

       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 hexadecimal 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	configura-
       tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
