PCP, short for Primary Config Path, is a Lazarus command-line option which permits specifying the directory where Lazarus configuration files are located.
For example, a Linux launcher link (.desktop file) may contain a line like:
Exec=/P/s/lazarus/lazarus --pcp="/P/s/config_lazarus"
which tells Lazarus to look for its configuration in the folder:
/P/s/config_lazarus
This option is most useful when using multiple Lazarus: it is needed to keep their configurations properly separated. Note that while most versions of Lazarus you will come across are case insensitive to --pcp, lazbuild before (probably) 2.4.0 is not when it reads the lazarus.cfg file.
Options to Lazarus, including this one, can also appear in the lazarus.cfg file, in the top lazarus directory.
Windows
If option --pcp is not specified, the default folder in Windows Vista and up is:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\lazarus
Linux
For Linux (and other Unix-like systems) the default configuration folder is:
~/.lazarus
