evminfo(1)
NAME
  evminfo - Provides information about EVM

SYNOPSIS
  evminfo -lc  | -vp  | -verify verify_option [-file verify_file]

OPTIONS
  -lc	      Reads the EVM channel configuration file, /etc/evmchannel.conf,
	      and writes a list of all the configured event channels. You can
	      review the events available for retrieval through a particular
	      set of channels by invoking evmget with the -C option.

  -vp	      Writes a string that can be used as the first two components
	      (by convention the vendor and product components) of a system
	      event name. This option enables script writers to refer to
	      system events in a way that is independent of the host system.
	      You should use this facility if you are writing a script that
	      in the future may be used on other platforms that support EVM,
	      and whose system events may have a different prefix.

  -verify verify_option
	      Checks the syntax of the EVM configuration file specified by
	      verify_option. Valid values for verify_option are daemon,
	      logger or chmgr, to verify the EVM daemon, EVM logger or EVM
	      channel configuration files respectively. If a verify_file is
	      specified the named file is checked instead of the component's
	      standard configuration file.

DESCRIPTION
  The evminfo command writes selected information about the EVM environment
  to its standard out stream. The options determine the information to be
  displayed.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Successful completion.

  not 0
      An error occurred.

EXAMPLES
   1.  In the following example, the evminfo -lc command lists the names of
       all event channels configured in the EVM channel configuration file,
       and the user invokes evmget to retrieve events from two of the listed
       channels.
	    $ evminfo -lc
	    syslog
	    binlog
	    misclog
	    evmlog
	    $ evmget -A -C misclog,evmlog

   2.  This example illustrates the use of evminfo -vp in a shell script to
       determine the first two components (by convention, the vendor and
       product components) of the names of system events in the host system.
       The script then uses evmwatch to monitor system events.
	    VP=`evminfo -vp`
	    evmwatch -f "[name $VP]" | evmshow

   3.  The following example checks the syntax of the EVM daemon
       configuration file.
	    evminfo -verify daemon
