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.
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.
The PCP port number (default:"9898").
The user name for PCP authentication (default: OS user name).
Never prompt for password (should happen automatically). 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.
Force password prompt.
Enable debug message.
Enable verbose output.
Print the command version, then exit.
Shows help for the command line arguments, then exit.
