ERRPT(1M) ERRPT(1M)
NAME
errpt - process a report of logged errors
SYNOPSIS
errpt [ options ] [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
Errpt processes data collected by the error logging
mechanism (errdemon(1M)) and generates a report of that
data. The default report is a summary of all errors posted
in the files named. Options apply to all files and are
described below. If no files are specified, errpt attempts
to use /usr/adm/errfile .
A summary report notes the options that may limit its
completeness, records the time stamped on the earliest and
latest errors encountered, and gives the total number of
errors of one or more types. Each device summary contains
the total number of unrecovered errors, recovered errors,
errors unabled 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.
Any 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)) that took place during the interval being
processed. A summary of each error type included in the
report is appended to a detailed report.
A report may be limited to certain records in the following
ways:
-a Produce a detailed report that includes all
error types.
-dev A detailed report is limited to data about
devices given in dev, where dev can be one
of two forms: a list of device identifiers

separated from one another by a comma, or a
list of device identifiers enclosed in
double quotes and separated from one another
by a comma and/or more spaces. Errpt is
familiar with the common form of identifiers
(see Section 7 of this volume). 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.
-e date Ignore all records posted later than date,
where date has the form mmddhhmmyy,
consistent in meaning with the date(1)
command.
-f In a detailed report, limit the reporting of
block device errors to unrecovered errors.
-p n Limit the size of a detailed report to n
pages.
-s date Ignore all records posted earlier than date,
where date has the form mmddhhmmyy,
consistent in meaning with the date(1)
command.
FILES

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