5.5 acl_errlog_library
Writer_Note: Bug RWCra 01707 states “I don’t think this utility works.” Also, are separator
characters (colons) required for the single argument to count?
NAME
acl_errlog_library - retrieve ACL Error/Event Log parameters.
SYNOPSIS
acl_errlog_library -count <count_specification> -stdout <output_spec>
[ -device device_special_file ] [ -n ] [ -t separator ] [ -retry_on_reset ]
acl_errlog_library -help [ help_type ]
Writer_Note: Changed 2048 parameters to 1000 parameters to agree with current release of the ACL
SCSI ICD.
DESCRIPTION
acl_errlog_library retrieves up to 1000 parameters from the ACL error/event log, starting
with the most recent entry. This information is intended to aid service personnel in diagnosing
and correcting problems.
The -stdout <output_spec> argument is required to write the error/event log parameters to
stdout. The -count <count_specification> argument specifies the number of parameters to
retrieve.
acl_errlog_library is available to all users. See the acl_intro(1) manual page for ACL
naming conventions and general information on command-line options and arguments.
OPTIONS
-device device_special_file
Specifies the device special file to use for the operation.
-n
Prevents the utility from appending a trailing newline to the output stream written to stdout,
but does not affect newlines embedded in the output stream.
Writer_Note: At our meeting, we said the separator character would be optional for a single entry.
Has this change been implemented?
