errdead(IM) errdead( 1M)
NAME
errdead - extract error records from a crash dump
SYNOPSIS
/ etc/ errdead dumpfile [namelist]
DESCRIYfION
When the system detects hardware errors, it generates an error
record containing pertinent information about the error. If the
error-logging daemon errdemon(IM) is not active or if the system
crashes before the record is placed in the error file, the system
holds the error information in a local buffer. errdead examines
a system dump, extracts error records, and passes them to
errpt(IM) for analysis. '
The argument dumpfile specifies the file (or memory) to examine.
You can specify the system namelist with namelist; / unix is the
default.
