errpt(1M)                                               errpt(1M)



NAME
     errpt - processes a report of logged errors

SYNOPSIS
     errpt [-dev] [-a] [-e date] [-f] [-p n] [-s date] [file]...

ARGUMENTS
     -dev Displays a detailed report which is limited to data
          about device dev, where dev is a device identifier.
          The errpt command is familiar with the common form of
          identifiers (see Section 7 in the Programmer's
          Reference Manual). The devices for which errors are
          logged are system dependent.  Additional identifiers
          are int and mem, which include detailed reports of
          stray-interrupt and memory-parity type errors,
          respectively.

     -a   Displays a detailed report including all error types.

     -e date
          Ignores all records posted later than date, where date
          has the form mmddhhmmyy.

     -f   Displays a detailed report displaying only unrecovered
          block device errors.

     file Specifies the file into which the report will be
          placed.

     -p n Limits the detailed report to n pages.

     -s date
          Ignores all records posted earlier than date, where
          date has the form mmddhhmmyy.

DESCRIPTION
     errpt processes data collected by the error-logging
     mechanism (errdemon(1M)) and generates a report of that
     data.  The default report summarizes all errors posted in
     the named files.  The options described below apply to all
     files.  If you don't specify a file, errpt attempts to use
     /usr/adm/errfile.

     A summary report lists: the options that may limit its
     completeness, the time stamped on the earliest and latest
     errors, and the total number of errors of one or more types.
     Each device summary contains: the total number of
     unrecovered errors, recovered errors, errors which couldn't
     be logged, I/O operations on the device, and miscellaneous
     activities on the device.  It also includes as read errors
     the number of times that errpt has difficulty reading input
     data.

     In addition to specific error information, any detailed
     report contains all instances of the error-logging process
     being started and stopped, any time changes (via date(1))
     that took place during the interval being processed, and an
     appended summary of each error type included.

LIMITATIONS
     When illegal options are specified, errpt ignores them and
     generates default output.
