SYNOPSIS
jfs_fscklog [ -d ] [ -e device ] [ -f output.file ] [ -p ] [ -V ]
DESCRIPTION
jfs_fscklog with option -e device extracts the contents of either the
most recent or immediately prior (specified with option -p) JFS fsck
service log from the specified device, and writes the output to a file.
The file name may be specified with the -f option, or the default file
name is <pwd>fscklog.new. If the -p option is used, the default file
name is <pwd>fscklog.old.
jfs_fscklog with option -d formats and displays the contents of the
extracted file.
jfs_fscklog with options -d and -e device extracts and displays the JFS
fsck service log.
OPTIONS
-d Format and display a previously extracted JFS fsck service log.
-e device
Extract the JFS fsck service log from device and store it in a
file. (device is the special file name corresponding to the
actual device from which the fsck log will be extracted (e.g.
/dev/hdb1 )).
-f file.name
Specify the file name, overriding the default file name. When
used with -e device, file.name specifies the name of the file
into which the JFS fsck log will be extracted. When used with
-d, file.name specifies the name of the extracted file whose
contents will be formatted and displayed.
file.name must be 127 characters or less in length.
file.name will be created in the present working directory
unless it is fully qualified.
-p Extract the prior log (as opposed to the most recent log).
-V Print version information and exit (regardless of any other
chosen options).
