# pcp_common_options

## Name

pcp_common_options -- common options used in PCP commands

## Synopsis

`pcp_command` [`option`...]

## Description

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.

## Options

`-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.

`-p `port``
`--port=`port``

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

`-u `username``
`--username=`username``

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

`-w`
`--no-password`

  Never prompt for password. And if a password is not available by a `.pcppass` file, the connection attempt will fail. This option can be useful in batch jobs and scripts where no user is present to enter a password.

`-W`
`--password`

  Force password prompt (should happen automatically).

`-d`
`--debug`

  Enable debug message.

`-v`
`--verbose`

  Enable verbose output.

`-V`
`--version`

  Print the command version, then exit.

`-?`
`--help`

  Shows help for the command line arguments, then exit.

## Environment

`PCPPASSFILE`

  Specifies the path to pcp password file.
