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 namespace (see 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 if 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) and followed by a
textual description of the error.
Other options control the output of additional information when one or
more values is available.
----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.
----IIII Like ----iiii, except the external instance identifiers are reported,
enclosed by quotes.
----vvvv Report the value for each instance, as per the formatting rules of
ppppmmmmPPPPrrrriiiinnnnttttVVVVaaaalllluuuueeee(3).
The ----vvvv, ----iiii and ----IIII options are mutually exclusive.
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 default Performance Metrics Namespace
(PMNS), however if the ----nnnn option is specified an alternative namespace is
loaded from the file _n_a_m_e_s_p_a_c_e. Independent of the ----nnnn option, the
namespace is always local to machine on which ppppmmmmpppprrrroooobbbbeeee is run.
The ----VVVV option provides a cryptic summary of the number of messages sent
and received across the PMAPI interface.
