     NAME
          errdemon - error-logging daemon

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/errdemon [file]

     DESCRIPTION
          The error logging daemon errdemon collects error records
          from the operating system by reading the special file
          /dev/error and places them in file.  If you don't specify
          file when activing the daemon, it uses /usr/adm/errfile.
          errdemon creates file if it does not exist; otherwise, it
          appends error records to it so that it doesn't lose previous
          error data.  Errdemon does not analyze the error records,
          this is done by errpt(1M).  A software kill signal (see
          kill(1)) terminates the error-logging daemon.  Only the
          super-user may start the daemon, and only one daemon may be
          active.

     FILES
