NAME pmerr - translate Performance Co-Pilot error codes into error messages SYNOPSIS pmerr code ... pmerr -l DESCRIPTION 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 alternative use of the -l option causes all known error codes to be listed, along with their symbolic names and error text. SEE ALSO PMAPI(3) and pmErrStr(3).
