+.TH PMHOSTNAME 1 "PCP" "Performance Co-Pilot"
+.SH NAME
+\f3pmhostname\f1 \- report hostname
+.\" literals use .B or \f3
+.\" arguments use .I or \f2
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmhostname
+[\fIhostname\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B pmhostname
+reports the name of the host
+.I hostname
+as returned by
+.BR gethostbyname (3N).
+.PP
+If
+.I hostname
+is not specified, then the local host name
+is retrieved using
+.BR gethostname (2)
+and this is than passed to
+.BR gethostbyname (3N).
+.PP
+.B pmhostname
+provides a service for shell scripts that
+mimics the logic formerly used by Performance Co-Pilot applications
+when trying to determine the official name of a host.  PCP applications
+no longer use DNS-based heuristics, and therefore this command is
+.IR deprecated .
+.PP
+If
+.BR gethostbyname (3N)
+fails, the input host name (either
+.I hostname
+or the result from calling
+.BR gethostname (2))
+is reported.
+.SH "PCP ENVIRONMENT"
+Environment variables with the prefix
+.B PCP_
+are used to parameterize the file and directory names
+used by PCP.
+On each installation, the file
+.I /etc/pcp.conf
+contains the local values for these variables.
+The
+.B $PCP_CONF
+variable may be used to specify an alternative
+configuration file,
+as described in
+.BR pcp.conf (5).
