DIAGNOSTICS

If the program cannot open either the pseudo driver or the configuration file, it prints an error message to standard error.  If the program encounters a syntax error in the configuration file, it prints an error message and the line number of the error in the configuration file.  It then skips the rest of the information on that line and processes the next line.  Any configuration information already processed on the line containing the error is used. 

The pmconfig utility generates the following error messages, all of which begin with pmconfig (line n):

Can’t find device name:
The first field is not a device name.

Can’t find threshold value:
The field following the device name is not an integer.

Too many threshold values:
More idle times than the device supports were given.

Unrecognizable dependent name:
The dependent field is not a device name.

a standard error message
Returned from the pm driver.
