/usr/lib/acct/csaedit [-P pacctfile] -r reclist -o outfile [-v]

DESCRIPTION
The csaedit command edits the accounting file. The accounting file
(pacctfile) can be a pacct or sorted pacct file.
You must use the csaverify(1M) command to verify records in the
accounting file prior to using this command. If the csaverify command
indicates that the accounting file contains invalid data, you must first
delete the invalid data. You can do this by passing the file that
contains information about invalid records produced by the csaverify
command to the csaedit command. The csaedit command uses the byte offset
and length information from this file to delete the invalid data. To
ensure that all of the bad records were removed, use the csaverify
command to reverify the accounting file after deleting any records.
After deleting bad records, you can use the csaedit command to view the
remaining records and delete any of these remaining records. Use the
record numbers display by the -A option to delete records.
The csaedit command outputs the data to stdout or to a file. The output
data can be in binary or ASCII form. Binary data can only be written out
to a file. Only accounting records can be output. No data can be output
until bad data has been removed.
Displaying the data in ASCII form allows you to view the valid records
and decide which ones to delete.
The csaedit command accepts three types of options: input, output, and
record selection options.
Input Options
The csaedit command accepts the following input option:
-P pacctfile
Specifies a pacct file or sorted pacct file. The default
filename is /var/adm/acct/work/Wpacct.
Output Options
The csaedit command accepts the following output options:
Page 1
csaedit(1M)csaedit(1M)-A Specifies ASCII output for all data. The default is to
output binary data. You cannot use this option with the -x
option.
-m Outputs memory values. This option may only be used with the
-A option or the -x option.
-o outfile Specifies the output file. The default for ASCII output is
stdout. This option is required with the -b and -r options.
Records cannot be written back to the input pacct file as in
the following example: csaedit-P pacct0 -r 18 -o pacct0.
You cannot edit the file; you have to create a new file.
-t Outputs CPU times. Also displays queue wait time for
consolidated NQS and workload management records. This
option may only be used with the -A option or the -x option.
-v Specifies verbose mode. Output is written to stderr.
-x Specifies no execute mode. Only the records to be deleted are
displayed. The selected records are not actually deleted.
The records are displayed in ASCII form. This option must be
used with the -r option. This option cannot be used with the
-A option.
Record Selection Options
The csaedit command accepts the following record selection options:
-b offsetfile
Specifies the file that contains the information about
invalid records that are to be deleted. The offsetfile is
produced by the csaverify command. You must use this option
with the -o option since the data will be written out in
binary form only. You can only use this option with the -P
and -v options.
-r reclist Specifies the record numbers of the records to be deleted.
reclist is a comma-separated list.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: The following example deletes invalid records from the
Wpacct1 file. The file invalid contains information about invalid
records. The output is written to file Wpacct1.NEW.
csaedit-P Wpacct1 -b invalid -o Wpacct1.NEW
Example 2: The following example outputs the Wpacct1 file in ASCII. CPU
times and memory values are reported.
csaedit-P Wpacct1 -Amt

Example 3: The following example displays records that are deleted in
Example 4.
csaedit-P Wpacct1 -xr 2, 10, 15
Example 4: The following example deletes records 2, 10, and 15 from the
Wpacct1 file. The output is written to file Wpacct1.NEW, and verbose
output is written to file err.
csaedit-P Wpacct1 -r 2,10,15 -o Wpacct1.NEW -v 2> err
