     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 activating the daemon, it uses /usr/adm/errfile.
          errdemon creates file if it does not exist; otherwise, it
          appends error records to file so that it doesn't lose previ-
          ous 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
          superuser may start the daemon, and only one daemon may be
          active.
