DESCRIPTION

The errdead command provides a means of extracting error records from the
internal buffer maintained by the /dev/error special file when the error
logging daemon, errdemon, is not active or from a system dump.  The errdead
command extracts the error records from memory or from the dump file and passes
them to errdemon to be added to the system error log.

The dumpfile parameter specifies the file (or memory) to be examined.  The
kernel-image parameter specifies the system name list, by default /unix.

Only a user operating with the proper authority can run errdead.

FILES
