pmerr - translate Performance Co-Pilot error codes into error messages
pmerr [
-?]
code ...
pmerr -l
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 available command line options are:
-
-l, --list
- This alternative invocation causes all known error codes to
be listed, along with their symbolic names and error text.
-
-?, --help
- Display usage message and exit.
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).
PMAPI(3),
pmErrStr(3),
pcp.conf(5) and
pcp.env(5).
