NAME

       systunedump - Dumps /proc files for kernel tuning.

SYNOPSIS

       systunedump  [  -c,--config  configfile  ]  [ -h, --help ] [ -p, --path
       dumppath ] [ -v, --verbose ]

DESCRIPTION

       This program dumps elements of the /proc filesystem to standard  output
       in  a  format  which,  if  redirected  to  a  file,  can be used by the
       systune(8) utility.

       Common usage:

       systunedump > /etc/systune.conf

       systunedump        --config        /etc/systune.kernel20.dump         >
       /etc/systune.kernel20.conf

       systunedump --config /dev/null --path /proc/sys/vm > /etc/systune.conf

OPTIONS

       -c, --config configfile
              Specify  an  alternative  configuration  file.   The  default is
              /etc/systune.dump

       -h, --help
              Print a short explanation of the command syntax.

       -p, --path dumppath
              Add the specified path  to  any  items  already  listed  in  the
              configuration  file.   Items  in  the  path must be separated by
              whitespace.  All items in the path must begin /proc/sys/.

       -v, --verbose
              Verbose  mode:  allow  non-existent  items  in  the   path   and
              configuration file to produce errors to standard error.  Without
              this option, erroneous paths are discarded silently.

FILES

       /etc/systune.dump
              A file containing a list of paths to dump.  Each  pathname  must
              begin  with  /proc/sys/.   Comments,  introduced  by  #,  can be
              included; the whole line from the comment character  onwards  is
              discarded,  together  with  any whitespace immediately preceding
              it.

       The configuration file can be a file, such as  /etc/systune.conf,  that
       contains  previously  dumped  data;  the  definition part of each line,
       after and including the colon, is discarded.
