NAME
       audtrail - A dcecp object that converts the audit trail into a readable format

SYNOPSIS
       audtrail help [operation | -verbose]

       audtrail operations

       audtrail show audit_trail_file_name_list [-to filename]

ARGUMENTS
       A  list of one or more names of audit trail files.  The names are not the full pathnames, but only the residual file name.  The name of the
       audtrail operation for which to display help information.

DESCRIPTION
       The audtrail object represents an audit trail file.  This command currently supports only one operation, which  converts  the  audit  trail
       into a human readable format.

OPERATIONS
   audtrail help
       Returns help information about the audtrail object and its operations.  The syntax is as follows: audtrail help [operation | -verbose]

       Options Displays information about the audtrail object.

       Used without an argument or option, the audtrail help command returns brief information about each audtrail operation.  The optional opera-
       tion argument is the name of an operation about which you want detailed information.  Alternatively, you can use the  -verbose  option  for
       more detailed information about the audtrail object itself.

       Privileges Required

       No special privileges are needed to use the audtrail help command.

       Examples

       dcecp>  audtrail  help  show		    Returns or files the contents of an audit trail file.  help 	       Prints a summary of
       command-line options.  operations	  Returns a list of the valid operations for this command.  dcecp>

   audtrail operations
       Returns a list of the operations supported by the audtrail object.  The syntax is as follows: audtrail operations

       The list of available operations is in alphabetical order except for help and operations, which are listed last.

       Privileges Required

       No special privileges are needed to use the audtrail operations command.

       Examples

       dcecp> audtrail operations show help operations dcecp>

   audtrail show
       Returns the audit trail in a readable format.  The syntax is as follows: audtrail show audit_trail_file_name_list  [-to	filename]  Options
       Specifies the name of the file in which to store the audit trail output.

       The  show  operation returns the audit trail in a readable format.  This command takes as an argument a list of names of audit trail files.
       If more than one name is given, the output of each audit trail is concatenated and a blank line inserted between  audit	trails.   The  -to
       option  specifies  a  destination  filename  for the trail.  If this option is not present, the trail is returned from the command.  If the
       option is present, this operation returns an empty string.

       Because audit trail files can grow quite large, using the -to switch is strongly recommended to avoid reading the entire trail into memory.

       Note that when dcecp processes output, it sends the entire set of returned information to an internal buffer before displaying it.   There-
       fore, when the output is directed to the screen, it can take a long time to appear.

       Privileges Required

       You must have r (read) permission on the audit trail file on the local file system.
