    NAME
         dmesg - collect system diagnostic messages to form error log

    SYNOPSIS
         /sbin/dmesg [ - ]

    DESCRIPTION
         N.B.: Dmesg is obsoleted by syslogd(8) for maintenance of
         the system error log.

         Dmesg looks in a system buffer for recently printed diagnos-
         tic messages and prints them on the standard output.  The
         messages are those printed or logged by the system when
         errors occur.  If the - flag is given, then dmesg computes
         (incrementally) the new messages since the last time it was
         run and places these on the standard output.

    FILES
         /usr/adm/msgbuf	 scratch file for memory of - option

    SEE ALSO
         syslogd(8)
