.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
utility provides minimal functionality to dump or display MCA records
|
|
|
|
|
that were saved by the kernel during boot.
|
|
|
|
|
The default behaviour of the
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
utility is to display all new MCA records on stdout.
|
|
|
|
|
When the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
|
|
|
option is given, the records are dumped in binary form.
|
|
|
|
|
The default file to which records are dumped is
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /var/log/mca.log .
|
|
|
|
|
This can be changed by specifying the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
|
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
|
New records are appended to the dump file.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Previously dumped records can be displayed by giving the name of
|
|
|
|
|
the dump file with the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
|
|
|
option.
