Extracts error records from a system dump.
/usr/lib/errdead [ -i FileName ] DumpFile
The errdead command extracts error records from a system dump containing the internal buffer maintained by the /dev/error file. The errdead command extracts the error records from the dump file and adds those error records directly to the error log.
The error log daemon need not be running when the errdead command is run.
| -i FileName | Adds the extracted error records to the error log file specified by the FileName variable. If the file does not exist, the errdead command creates it. If this flag is not specified, the value from the error log configuration database is used. |
Access Control: Only the root user can run this command.
