- ppppmmmmpppprrrroooobbbbeeee determines the availability of performance metrics exported
- through the facilities of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP).
-
- The metrics of interest are named in the _m_e_t_r_i_c_n_a_m_e arguments. If
- _m_e_t_r_i_c_n_a_m_e is a non-leaf node in the Performance Metrics Name Space
- (ppppmmmmnnnnssss(4)), then ppppmmmmpppprrrroooobbbbeeee will recursively descend the PMNS and report on
- all leaf nodes. If no _m_e_t_r_i_c_n_a_m_e argument is given, the root of the
- namespace is used.
-
- The output format is spartan and intended for use in wrapper scripts
- creating configuration files for other PCP tools. By default, there is
- one line of output per metric, with the metric name followed by a count
- of the number of available values. Error conditions are encoded as a
- negative value count (as per the PPPPMMMMAAAAPPPPIIII(3) protocols, but may be decoded
- using ppppmmmmeeeerrrrrrrr(1)) and followed by a textual description of the error.
-
- Unless directed to another host by the ----hhhh option, ppppmmmmpppprrrroooobbbbeeee will contact
- the Performance Metrics Collector Daemon (PMCD) on the local host.
-
- The ----aaaa option causes ppppmmmmpppprrrroooobbbbeeee to use the specified archive rather than
- connecting to a PMCD. The ----aaaa and ----hhhh options are mutually exclusive.
-
- Normally ppppmmmmpppprrrroooobbbbeeee operates on the distributed Performance Metrics Name
- Space (PMNS), however, if the ----nnnn option is specified an alternative local
- PMNS file is loaded from the file _p_m_n_s_f_i_l_e.
-
- Other options control the output of additional information when one or
- more values is available.
-
- ----IIII Report the external identifiers for each instance. The literal
- string PPPPMMMM____IIIINNNN____NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL is reported for singular metrics.
-
- ----iiii Report the internal identifiers for each instance. The values are
- in decimal and prefixed by ``?''. As a special case, the literal
- string PPPPMMMM____IIIINNNN____NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL is reported for singular metrics.
-
- ----vvvv Report the value for each instance, as per the formatting rules of
- ppppmmmmPPPPrrrriiiinnnnttttVVVVaaaalllluuuueeee(3).
-
- The ----vvvv option is mutually exclusive with either the ----IIII or ----iiii options.
-
- The ----VVVV option provides a cryptic summary of the number of messages sent
- and received across the PMAPI interface.

- Environment variables with the prefix PPPPCCCCPPPP____ are used to parameterize the
- file and directory names used by PCP. On each installation, the file
- /_e_t_c/_p_c_p._c_o_n_f contains the local values for these variables. The
- $$$$PPPPCCCCPPPP____CCCCOOOONNNNFFFF variable may be used to specify an alternative configuration
