13.2.1.2 The binlog.conf File
If you want the binlogd daemon to use a configuration file other than the
default, specify the file name with the binlogd -f
config_file
command.
The following is an example of a /etc/binlog.conf file:
#
# binlogd configuration file
#
# format of a line: event_code.priority destination
#
# where:
# event_code - see codes in binlog.h and man page, * = all events
# priority - severe, high, low, * = all priorities
# destination - local file pathname or remote system hostname
#
#
*.* /usr/adm/binary.errlog
dumpfile /usr/adm/crash/binlogdumpfile
102.high /usr/adm/disk.errlog

Each entry in the /etc/binlog.conf file, except the dumpfile event
class entry, contains three fields:
1 Specifies the event class code that indicates the part of the system
generating the event.
2 Specifies the severity level of the event. Do not specify a severity level
if you specify dumpfile for an event class.
3 Specifies the destination where the binary event records are logged.
The binlogd daemon ignores blank lines and lines that begin with a
number sign (#). You can specify a number sign (#) as the first character in
a line to include comments in the file or to disable an entry.
The event class and severity level are separated from the destination by
one or more tabs.
You can specify the following event class codes:
