pmie2col - convert pmie output to multi-column format

pmie2col is a simple tool that converts output from pmie(1) into regular column format.  Each column is 7
       characters  wide  (by  default,  may  be changed with the -w option) with a single space between columns.
       That single space can be substituted with an alternate delimiter using the -d option (this is useful  for
       importing the data into a spreadsheet, for example).

       The precision of the tabulated values from pmie can be specified with the -p option (default is 2 decimal
       places).   This  option  can  and  will  override  any  width  setting  in order to present the requested
       precision.

       The pmie(1) configuration must follow these rules:

       (1)    Each pmie(1) expression is of the form ``NAME = expr;''.  NAME will be used as the column heading,
              and must contain no white space, although special characters can be escaped by enclosing  NAME  in
              single quotes.

       (2)    The ``expr'' must be a valid pmie(1) expression that produces a singular value.

       In addition, pmie(1) must be run with the -v command line option.

       It  is  also  possible  to  use  the  -e  command  line to pmie(1) and output lines will be prefixed by a
       timestamp.

       Given this pmie(1) configuration file (config):

            loadav=kernel.all.load#'1minute';'%usr'=kernel.all.cpu.user;'%sys'=kernel.all.cpu.sys;'%wio'=kernel.all.cpu.wait.total;'%idle'=kernel.all.cpu.idle;'max-iops'=max_inst(disk.dev.total);

       Then this command pipeline:

            $pmie-v-t5<config|pmie2col-w8

       Produces output like this:

               loadav%usr%sys%wio%idlemax-iops0.21?????0.360.490.030.180.2925.400.490.410.100.360.1351.000.690.490.100.050.3743.200.710.390.080.040.4914.000.830.630.150.000.2132.301.090.600.020.100.2747.000.920.010.000.000.992.40

       The available command line options are:

       -dchar, --delimiter=char
            Use char as output delimiter.

       -pN, --precision=N
            Use n as output floating point precision.

       -wN, --width=N
            Use n as output column width.

       -?, --help
            Display usage message and exit.

       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).
