NAME

err − error-logging interface

DESCRIPTION

Minor device 0 of the err driver is the interface between a process and the system’s error-record collection routines.  The driver may be opened only for reading by a single process with super-user permissions.  Each read causes an entire error record to be retrieved; the record is truncated if the read request is for less than the record’s length.
