errdead(1M)                                           errdead(1M)



     NAME
          errdead - extract error records from a crash dump

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/errdead dumpfile [namelist]

     DESCRIPTION
          When the system detects hardware errors, it generates an er-
          ror 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, extracts error
          records, and passes them to errpt(1M) for analysis.

          The argument dumpfile specifies the file (or memory) to ex-
          amine.  You can specify the system namelist with namelist;
          /unix is the default.
