errdead(1M)                                           errdead(1M)



     NAME
          errdead - extract error records from dump

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/errdead dumpfile [namelist]

     DESCRIPTION
          When the system detects hardware errors, it generates an
          error record containing pertinent information about the
          error.  If the error-logging daemon errdemon(1M) is not
          active or if the system crashes before the record is placed
          in the error file, the system holds the error information in
          a local buffer.  errdead examines a system dump (or memory),
          extracts error records, and passes them to errpt(1M) for
          analysis.

          dumpfile specifies the file (or memory) to examine.  You can
          specify the system namelist with namelist; /unix is the
          default.
