Name
eli - error log initialization program

Syntax
eli [ options ]

Description
The command initializes error logging. This command enables error logging of hardware and system-related error packets, or error messages,
from the kernel errorlog buffer. It can also disable error logging, reconfigure error logging parameters, or initialize the kernel error-
log buffer.

Options
-d Disables error logging.

-e Enables error logging in multiuser mode.

-f Forces the subsequent option; the system will not prompt. This is the only command option you can use with another option.

-h Prints information about the command.

-i Initializes the kernel errorlog buffer. The previous contents of the errorlog buffer are lost.

-l Logs a one-line status message to the kernel errorlog buffer.

-n Only supported for local error logging. Disables logging error packets to disk by the daemon. High priority error messages continue
to be printed at the console. Note that error log packets can be viewed by using the option in real time, but are never written to
the disk. For this reason, this option is rarely used.

-q Suppresses the periodic display, on the console, of the missed error message that results from a full kernel errorlog buffer.

-r Reconfigures error logging. Use this option after changing the file.

-s Enables error logging in single-user mode.

-w Enables the missed error message to appear on the console every 15 minutes. This option is the opposite of

Examples
This example logs a one-line message into the errorlog file.
eli -f -l "This is a test message"
This example logs a message, up to and including the first new line, from the file
eli -f -l < myfile > /dev/null

Restrictions
You must have superuser privileges to use the command.

Only the -f option can be used with other options. You must use the syntax shown in the examples above.

Diagnostics
eli: Request Aborted.
The requested action was aborted. The reason for the aborted command is included with the output.

NAME

       cachefslog - Cache File System logging

SYNOPSIS

       logfile| cachefs_mount_point

DESCRIPTION

       The  command is used to enable or disable logging for a cachefs_mount_point.  When the command is used without any options, it displays the
       logfile.  The logfile contains information on the operation performed on a cachefs_mount_point and statistics used by to  get  the  working
       set  size  of cache directory.  The specified logfile will contain information for all the CacheFS mount points using the same cache direc-
       tory.  A logfile and a cache directory have a 1-to-1 mapping; that is, even if a cache directory is removed and	recreated  with  the  same
       name, the logfile used in the previous instance of the cache directory cannot be reused with the new cache directory.

       Enabling  logging  may  have  performance  impact, even if minimal, on the operations for all the CacheFS mount points using the same cache
       directory.  The command is mainly used for debugging purposes.

   Options
       The following options are supported.  You must be a superuser to use the and options.

       Specify the logfile to be used.

       Halt logging.

   Operands
       cachefs_mount_point
		      A mount point of a cache file system.

RETURN VALUE

       returns the following values:

	      Success.

	      non-zero	An error occurred.

EXAMPLES

	      1.  Checking the logging of a directory.

	      This example checks if the CacheFS file system is being logged:

	      2.  Changing the logfile.

	      This example changes the logfile of to

	      3.  Verifying the change of a logfile.

	      This example verifies the change of the previous example:

	      4.  Halting the logging of a directory.

	      This example halts logging for the directory:
