PMDF contains a modest collection of management utility programs, which are used to perform various maintenance, testing, and management tasks. The following sections describe these utilities. Note that many of the utilities are mentioned elsewhere in this document in the context of how they are actually used. User-level utilities are described in the PMDF User's Guide.

Briefly, the PMDF utilities, both those documented in the PMDF User's Guide and those documented here, are shown in Table 30-1. Those utilities only available under OpenVMS are marked with a +; those only available under UNIX are marked with a ++.
