## NAME

**pmksetup** – premake setup

## SYNOPSIS

**pmksetup** \[**-hVv**\] \[**-r** *variable*\] \[**-u** *variable*=*value*\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **pmksetup** utility is meant to create or update the [pmk.conf(5)](/pmk.conf/5.md) file in order to run the [pmk(1)](/pmk/1.md) configuration tool.

**pmksetup** reads all configuration information from the [pmk.conf(5)](/pmk.conf/5.md) file.

The options are as follows:

- **-h**

  Display the help menu.

- **-r** *variable*

  Remove the given variable from [pmk.conf(5)](/pmk.conf/5.md) if its value isn't static. Data gathering is skipped by this option.

- **-u** *variable*=*value*

  Add or update existing variable from [pmk.conf(5)](/pmk.conf/5.md) if its value isn't static. The value must have its double quotes escaped to pass through shell filter. Data gathering is skipped by this option.

- **-V**

  Verbose, display debugging messages.

- **-v**

  Display the version number.
