pcp_common_options - common options used in PCP commands

pcp_command [option...]

There are some arguments common to all PCP commands. Most of these are for authentication and the rest are about verbose mode, debug message, and so on.

-h hostname
--host=hostname

The host name of the machine on which the server is running. If the value begins with a slash, it is used as the directory for the Unix-domain socket.

--port=port

The PCP port number (default:"9898").

-U username
--username=username

The user name for PCP authentication (default: OS user name).

-w

-W
--password

Force password prompt (should happen automatically).

-d
--debug

--verbose

Enable verbose output.

-V
