     NETERROR(1)              Series 300 Only              NETERROR(1)

     NAME
          neterror - control network error logging

     SYNOPSIS
          neterror [ -afi ] [ queue-size ]

     HP-UX/COMPATIBILITY
          Level:    HP-UX/NON-STANDARD

          Origin:   HP

          Remarks:  Implemented on the Series 300 Only.

     DESCRIPTION
          Neterror controls the network  error  logging  facility  and
          allows  the  user  to access the logged network errors.  The
          two types of errors logged are internal network  events  and
          errors  passed  from  the  kernel  to the user program.  The
          events and errors are logged in a first-in-first-out  (FIFO)
          queue.  When the queue fills up, the oldest entry is deleted
          to accommodate any new entry.

          When neterror is invoked with no options, all queued  errors
          which  belong to the user are displayed.  A time stamp, user
          id, process id, internal network error mnemonic,  the  errno
          value, and the errnet value are displayed.

          In addition, the super-user can  invoke  neterror  with  the
          following options:

          -a   Display the errors logged for all users.

          -f   Clear the contents of the error-logging queue.

          -i   Display the network events logged in the  queue.   Most
               network  events  will only contain the internal network
               error  mnemonic  and  the  location  where  the   error
               occurred  (this is displayed under the errnet heading).
               Some of the network events will contain an errno  value
               rather than an internal network error mnemonic.

          The super-user can also change the number of entries allowed
          in  the  error-logging queue by specifying a new queue-size.
          Specifying a new queue-size destroys  the  contents  of  the
          current  error-logging  queue.   If  neterror  is  unable to
          obtain enough memory for the  requested  logging  queue,  an
          error  message  is  printed  and  the original queue remains
          intact.  The default queue size at  network  powerup  is  at
          least ten entries.
