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.

EXAMPLES
  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

  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

  The following example checks the syntax of the EVM daemon configuration
  file.

       evminfo -verify daemon

EXIT VALUES
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Successful completion

  not 0
      An error occurred
