SYNTAX
errpt [ option ... ] [ filename ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Errpt processes data collected by the error logging mechanism
(errdemon(1m)) and generates a report of that data. Dmesg is a
link to errpt for compatibility with the BSD 4.2 release.
The default report is a summary of all errors posted in the files
named. Options apply to all files and are described below. If
you omit filename, /usr/adm/errfile is the default.
A summary report notes the options that may limit the
completeness of the error data, records the time stamped on the
earliest and latest errors encountered, and gives the total
number of errors. Each device summary contains the total number
of unrecovered errors, recovered errors, errors unable to be
logged, I/O operations on the device, and miscellaneous
activities that occurred on the device. The number of times that
errpt has difficulty reading input data is included as read
errors.
A detailed report contains, in addition to specific error
information, all instances of the error logging process being
started and stopped, and any time changes (via date(1)) during
the interval being processed. A summary of each error type
included in the report is appended to a detailed report.
Options are:
-s date Ignore all records posted earlier than date where
date has the form mmddhhmmyy, consistent in
meaning with the date(1) command.
-e date Ignore all records posted later than date, whose
form is described above.
-a Produce a detailed report that includes all error
types.
-d devlist Limit a detailed report to data about devices
given in devlist, where devlist can be one of two

in double quotes and separated by commas and/or
one or more spaces. Device names are: scp, dpf,
dpj, mt, mtj. and user. Mt refers to mtb (see
exceptions), mtc, and mtd tape drives.

EXCEPTIONS
Only DGC disk and tape names are supported.

DG/UX dmesg command invokes errpt instead of the BSD program.
mt refers to mtb, mtc, and mtd tape drives.
