Error Handling
If the platform type cannot be determined by a scan of the log file, a generic platform type is used for event decoding.
The -p command (described in the "Overall Interface" section) can be used to override the platform value and allow
you to choose from a list of supported platforms.
In the command line interface, submission of the incorrect type of file, missing files, etc. are handled as syntax errors.
If a specified input or output file cannot be opened, both the Windows and HP-UX versions generate an error message
and the viewer terminates.
Messages
The following messages result in the Event Viewer exiting with an error:
"Error opening file <fpl_logfile_name>"
Indicates the FPL log file specified for decoding could not be opened.
"An error occurred while opening the XML file."
Indicates the XML database file could not be opened.
