pmdbg - report Performance Co-Pilot debug options

Синопсис (Synopsis)

pmdbg code ...
       pmdbg -l [-o] [-g]
       pmdbg -D name[,name ...]

Описание (Description)

The components of the Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) use a global
       mechanism to control diagnostic and debug output.  Historically
       this was a vector of bit-fields but this was later replaced by an
       array of debug options.  All of the bit-field debug controls have
       an equivalent in the new scheme, but some new debug options
       cannot be represented in the old bit-field scheme.

pmdbg with a -l option prints out all the debug options. If there is no -g and no -o option then the output lists the name of each option and some descriptive text.

With the -l and -g options the descriptive text is replaced with an expression that can be used to set or print the corresponding debug flag in gdb(1).

With the -l and -o options the output is for only the old bit- fields with the mnemonic and decimal values of each the bit-field along with some descriptive text.

Obviously the -o and -g options are mutually exclusive.

pmdbg with a -D option parses the list of names(s) using __pmParseDebug(3) and reports the corresponding decimal value. This use is not required in the new scheme, but for the old bit- fields scheme it was useful when debugging and wanting to set the internal value of the control vector (pmDebug) via a debugger, e.g. gdb(1). For the new scheme, the same effect can be achieved using the name of the option(s) and calling pmSetDebug(3) from within the debugger.

The alternative usage also relates to the old bit-field scheme and 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 -D name[,name ...] command-line syntax to enable debug control using the name(s) of the desired debug options.

Alternatively the initial value of the debug control flags may be set to either a value N (old scheme) or a comma-separated list if option name(s) (new scheme) using the environment variable $PCP_DEBUG. If both mechanisms are used the effect is additive, so the resultant flags are those set via $PCP_DEBUG combined with those set via any -D command line options.


Параметры (Options)

The available command line options are:

-D name, --debug=name Parse a comma-separated list of name(s) and report the corresponding decimal value(s).

-l, --list List all the debug options.

-g, --gdb Output gdb(1) expressions with -l.

-o, --old Use old-style output format with -l.

-?, --help Display usage message and exit.


Окружение PCP (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(5).
