NAME
dmesg - collect system diagnostic messages to form error log

SYNOPSIS
/etc/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 diagnostic
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.
