dstat** is run.
                The **-Z** option changes the timezone to _timezone_ in the format
                of the environment variable **TZ** as described in [environ(7)](../man7/environ.7.html).
    
           **-z** , **--hostzone**
                Change the reporting timezone to the local timezone at the
                host that is the source of the performance metrics.  When
                replaying a PCP archive that was captured in a foreign
                timezone, the **-z** option would almost always be used (the
                default reporting timezone is the local timezone, which may
                not be the same as the timezone of the PCP archive).
    
           **-?** , **--help**
                Display usage message and exit.
    

##  NOTES  top

    
    
           **pcp-pidstat** is inspired by the [pidstat(1)](../man1/pidstat.1.html) command and aims to be
           command line and output compatible with it.
    

##  PCP ENVIRONMENT  top

    
    
           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)](../man5/pcp.conf.5.html).
    
           For environment variables affecting PCP tools, see
           [pmGetOptions(3)](../man3/pmGetOptions.3.html).
