acl_errlog_library retrieves up to 1000 entries 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 entries to stdout.
The -count <count_specification> argument specifies the number of entries to retrieve.
acl_errlog_library is available to all users. See “ACL Utilities Overview” on page 5-1 for
ACL naming conventions and general information on command line options and arguments.
OPTIONS
-f < device_special_file>

but does not affect newlines embedded in the output stream.

keywords for the optional help_type specification are:
stdout, revision, and v_revision.
