 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      svcdumplog - Prints contents of a binary serviceability log file

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      svcdumplog [-s num_of_entries] logfile


 OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
      -s num_of_entries
                     The -s flag tells svcdumplog to skip the first
                     num_of_entries log entries before printing, where
                     num_of_entries is a number.


 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      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.
