errdead

PURPOSE

     Extracts error records from dump.

SYNOPSIS
     errdead dumpfile [ kernel ]

DESCRIPTION

     When the system detects a  hardware error, it produces an
     error  record  containing  information pertinent  to  the
     error.   If errdemon,  the  error-logging  demon, is  not
     running or if the system  crashes before it can place the
     record  in the  error file,  the system  holds the  error
     information in a local buffer.  errdead examines a system
     dump (or memory), extracts  the error records, and passes
     them to errpt  to generate a report.  Note  that no anal-
     ysis is available because  these error entries were never
     sent back via the errdemon.

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