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 configuration
     file, as described in pcp.conf(4).
