         -a                    Performs bit-to-text translation on
                               event file.

         -b binfile            Reads input file(s) and creates a single
                               output file specified by binfile. Flag
                               is mutually exclusive with -a, -c, and
                               -d flags with -a being the default.

         -c                    Reads events directly from the error
                               log deamon process. Flag is mutually
                               exclusive with -a, -b, and -d flag with
                               -a being the default.

         -d                    Produces output file in Hex format. Flag
                               is mutually exclusive with -a, -b and -c
                               flag with -a being the default.

         -e [s:start_          Selects event file entries by the posi-
         num][e:end_num]       tion within the event file.

         -F infile[ ...]       Provides for alternate input event log
                               file. This parameter can be a single
                               Digital UNIX file specification or a
                               list of file specifications. Wildcards
                               (*) are allowed.

         -H hostname[ ...]     Selects event file entries by node name.

         -i keyword[=val][     Includes event entries to be processed.
         ...]                  The selection is by device class, entry
                               type and/or device names.

         -int                  Places DECevent into interactive mode.

         -j [rejfile]          Places all event entries failing se-
                               lection criteria for a command into a
                               specified file in binary format. Used
                               only with the -b flag.

         -o output_type        Output event in full, brief, terse, ,
                               or summary report format. The default is
                               full. Summary output type is not valid
                               when used inconjunction with -c flag.

                               full=All possible information.

                               brief=Key information on each event
                               entry.

                               terse=Labeled information with no trans-
                               lations.

                               summary=Statistical summary of event
                               entries in the event file.

         -R                    Causes the event file to be read in
                               reverse order.

         -t [s:time][e:time]   Selects event file entries that have
                               occurred in the time specified.

         -v                    Provides informational message about the
                               number of entries selected and rejected
                               while a file is being processed.

         -x keyword=[val][     Excludes event entries from being pro-
         ...]                  cessed. The selection is by device
                               class, entry type, and or device names.

         > outfile             Redirects the output from the default
                               system output to the specified file
