**-v** , **--omit-flat**
                Report only set-valued metrics with instances (e.g.
                disk.dev.read) and omit single-valued ``flat'' metrics
                without instances (e.g.  kernel.all.sysfork).  See **-i** and
                **-I**.
    
           **-V** , **--version**
                Display version number and exit.
    
           **-x** , **--with-extended**
                Write extended information.
    
           **-X** , **--with-everything**
                Write everything known about metrics, including PCP internal
                IDs.  Labels are, however, omitted for backward
                compatibility, use **-m** to include them as well.
    
           **-y** _scale_ , **--time-scale** =_scale_
                _Unit/scale_ for time metrics, possible values include
                **nanosec** , **ns** , **microsec** , **us** , **millisec** , **ms** , and so forth up to
                **hour** , **hr**.  This option will _not_ override possible per-metric
                specifications.  See also [pmParseUnitsStr(3)](../man3/pmParseUnitsStr.3.html).
    
           **-Y** _scale_ , **--time-scale-force** =_scale_
                Like **-y** but this option _will_ override per-metric
                specifications.
    
           **-z** , **--hostzone**
                Use the local timezone of the host that is the source of the
                performance metrics, as identified by either the **-h** or the
                **-a** options.  The default is to use the timezone of the local
                host.
    
           **-Z** _timezone_ , **--timezone** =_timezone_
                Use _timezone_ for the date and time.  _Timezone_ is in the
                format of the environment variable **TZ** as described in
                [environ(7)](../man7/environ.7.html).  Note that when including a timezone string in
                output, ISO 8601 -style UTC offsets are used (so something
                like -Z EST+5 will become UTC-5).
    
           **-?** , **--help**
                Display usage message and exit.

##  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).
