NAME

       evminfo - Provides information about EVM

SYNOPSIS

       evminfo -lc | -vp | -verify verify_option [-file verify_file]

OPTIONS

       Reads the EVM channel configuration file, /etc/evmchannel.conf, and writes a list of all the configured event channels.	You can review the
       events available for retrieval through a particular set of channels by invoking evmget with the -C option.  Writes a  string  that  can	be
       used  as  the  first  two  components (by convention the vendor and product components) of a system event name.	This option enables script
       writers to refer to system events in a way that is independent of the host system.  You should use this	facility  if  you  are	writing  a
       script that in the future may be used on other platforms that support EVM, and whose system events may have a different prefix.	Checks the
       syntax of the EVM configuration file specified by verify_option.  Valid values for verify_option are daemon, logger or chmgr, to verify the
       EVM daemon, EVM logger or EVM channel configuration files respectively.	If a verify_file is specified the named file is checked instead of
       the component's standard configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       The evminfo command writes selected information about the EVM environment to its standard out stream.  The options determine  the  informa-
       tion to be displayed.

EXAMPLES

       In  the	following example, the evminfo -lc command lists the names of all event channels configured in the EVM channel configuration file,
       and the user invokes evmget to retrieve events from two of the listed channels.	$ evminfo -lc syslog binlog misclog evmlog $ evmget -A	-C
       misclog,evmlog

       This  example  illustrates  the	use  of evminfo -vp in a shell script to determine the first two components (by convention, the vendor and
       product components) of the names of system events in the host system.  The script then uses evmwatch to monitor system events.  VP=`evminfo
       -vp` evmwatch -f "[name $VP]" | evmshow

       The following example checks the syntax of the EVM daemon configuration file.  evminfo -verify daemon

EXIT VALUES

       The following exit values are returned: Successful completion An error occurred
