The Event Manager includes command-line utilities that recognize the
format of the event. You can use these command-line utilities to perform
basic operations at the command prompt or in shell scripts. However, you
cannot view an event directly with a text viewer (for example, more )
because an event is a package of binary data. You can use commands to
perform the following actions:
• Retrieve events from storage, sort them into a preferred order, and
format them for display
• Watch for new events being posted
• Post new events
