NAME
       strerr - receive error messages from the STREAMS log driver

SYNOPSIS
       sys_admin_mail_name] logdir]

DESCRIPTION
       receives	 error	messages  from	the STREAMS log driver (strlog(7)) for
       addition to the STREAMS error log files mm-dd)  in  the	STREAMS	 error
       logger  directory by default).  When first called, creates the log file
       This is a daily log file, where mm indicates the month and dd indicates
       the day of the logged messages.	then appends error messages to the log
       file as they are received from the STREAMS log driver.

       STREAMS error log messages have the following format:

	      seq time tick pri ind mod sub text

       Components are interpreted as follows:

	      seq    Error event sequence number.

	      time   Time the message was sent expressed in hh:mm:ss.

	      tick   Time the message was  sent	 expressed  in	machine	 ticks
		     since the last boot.

	      pri    Error  priority level as defined by the STREAMS driver or
		     module that originates the messages.

	      ind    Can be any combination of	the  following	three  message
		     indicators:

			The message has also been saved in the trace log.

			The message signaled a fatal error.

			The  message has also been mailed to the system admin‐
			istrator.

	      mod    Module identification number of the error message source.

	      sub    Subidentification number of the error message source.

	      text   Error message text.

       runs continuously until terminated by the user.

   Options
       recognizes the following options and command-line arguments:

       Specify the user's mail name for sending mail messages.
				     Mail is sent to the system	 administrator
				     by default.

       Specify the directory to contain the error log file.
				     Default is

WARNINGS
       Only  one  process  can	open  the  STREAMS log driver at a time.  This
       restriction is intended to maximize performance.

       The STREAMS error logging mechanism works best when it is not overused.
       can  degrade STREAMS performance by affecting the response, throughput,
       and other behaviors of the drivers and modules that  invoke  it.	  also
       fails to capture messages if drivers and modules generate messages at a
       higher rate than its optimum read rate.	If there are missing  sequence
       numbers among the messages in a log file, messages have been lost.

FILES
       NLS catalog for

       error log file or files on which		    operates
