NAME

svcdumplog − Prints contents of a binary serviceability log file

SYNOPSIS

svcdumplog [-s num_of_entries] logfile

OPTIONS

-s num_of_entriesThe -s flag tells svcdumplog to skip the first num_of_entries log entries before printing, where num_of_entries is a number. 

DESCRIPTION

The svcdumplog program will print the contents of a binary log file.  DCE components log important information about their activities and state via the DCE serviceability interface. The log messages can be routed as desired via the dcecp log object. The messages can also be written in either binary or in text format (information about specifying message format can be found in svcroute(5)). When binary format has been specified for a component’s messages, each log entry will be written as a binary record of data defined (in dce/svclog.h) as the contents of the serviceability prolog structure. The svcdumplog utility will print the contents of such a binary log file as readable text.
