3.8.1 The errpt command
The errpt command is used to check for errors reported by the error log facility.

[ -i File ] [ -I File ] [ -j ErrorID [ ,ErrorID ] ] | [ -k ErrorID [ ,ErrorID ]
] [ -J ErrorLabel [ ,ErrorLabel ] ] | [ -K ErrorLabel [ ,ErrorLabel ] ]
[ -l SequenceNumber ] [ -m Machine ] [ -n Node ] [ -s StartDate ]
[ -F FlagList ] [ -N ResourceNameList ] [ -P ] [ -R ResourceTypeList ]
[ -S ResourceClassList ] [ -T ErrorTypeList ] [ -y File ] [ -z File ]
To process a report from the error record template repository, the syntax is:
errpt [ -a ] [ -A ] [ -I File ] [ -t ] [ -d ErrorClassList ]
[ -j ErrorID [ ,ErrorID ] ] | [ -k ErrorID [ ,ErrorID ] ]
[ -J ErrorLabel [ ,ErrorLabel ] ] | [ -K ErrorLabel [ ,ErrorLabel ] ]
[ -F FlagList ] [ -P ] [ -T ErrorTypeList ] [ -y File ] [ -z File ]
