NAME
kclog - manage kernel configuration log file
SYNOPSIS
kclog [-a][-c config][
-f string ][-t type][-n name][count ]
kclog -C comment
DESCRIPTION
kclog is the administrative command for the HP-UX kernel configuration log file. The log file is
automatically maintained by all of the kernel configuration commands (
kconfig
, kcmodule, and
kctune). Any change to any kernel configuration gets logged to this log file, which is located at
/var/adm/kc.log
. Note that this file is a plain text file which can be viewed and manipulated using
standard Unix file management commands;
kclog
exists simply for convenience in finding particular log
file entries.
Under normal usage,
kclog prints the last count entries in the log file. When one of the options is
specified,
kclog prints the last count entries that match the specified criteria. If count is not specified, it
defaults to 1.
Options
-a kclog will print all entries matching criteria. If this option is not specified, kclog
will
only print the last count entries that match the specified criteria.
-c config kclog will print only log file entries describing changes to the saved kernel
configuration named config. If this option is not specified,
kclog will print log file
entries describing changes to any saved or running kernel configuration.
-C comment kclog will not print any entries. Instead, kclog will create a new entry, as if a kernel
configuration change had been made, containing the specified comment. This option is
only allowed for users with appropriate privileges.
-f string kclog will print only log file entries that contain the given string .
-n name kclog will print only log file entries that refer to a configuration object (module or tun-
able) of the given name.
-t type kclog will print only log file entries that refer to configuration objects of the specified
type : module or tunable.
RETURN VALUE
kclog returns zero for success. It returns non-zero and prints a diagnostic message if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
To see the last three entries in the log:
$ kclog 3
To see the last entry for the tunable nproc:
$ kclog -t tunable -n nproc
To see the last five entries for module changes:
$ kclog -t module 5
To see all entries for module changes:
$ kclog -a -t module
To see the last entry mentioning Aberdeen:
$ kclog -f Aberdeen
WARNINGS
The format of the log file may be changed without notice.
Some configuration changes can be made without using the kernel configuration commands. No log file
entries are made for such changes.
The log file should not be manually edited. Doing so may cause
kclog to behave unpredictably.
