* dmesg: correct "-n, --console-level level" example in manual pageJean-Philippe ROMAIN2018-12-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | When providing an abbreviation of the level name with the option "-n, --console-level level", it corresponds to the level (included) up to which messages are displayed on the console. If a level number is given, this level is excluded. So in the given example, "-n 1" is equivalent to "-n emerg". Signed-off-by: Jean-Philippe Romain <jean-philippe.romain@st.com>
* man: Use the correct macro for a font change of one argumentBjarni Ingi Gislason2018-05-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Use the correct macro (I, B) for the font change of one argument, not those that are used for alternating two fonts, like "BR", "IR", "RB", or "RI". Signed-off-by: Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@rhi.hi.is>
* dmesg: link together with syslog(2) manual pageSami Kerola2018-05-031-1/+7
| | | | | | | The dmesg may require capabilities(7) when /proc/sys/kernel/dmesg_restrict has none zero value. This is explained in detail in syslog(2) manual page. Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>
* dmesg: Add --force-prefix optionPrarit Bhargava2017-11-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel outputs multi-line messages (kernel messages that contain the end-of-line character '\n'). These message are currently displayed by dmesg as [965199.028940] runnable tasks: task PID tree-key switches prio wait-time sum-exec sum-sleep ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The kernel timestamps each of these lines with [965199.028940] and the dmesg utility should do the same. Add the 'force-prefix'/'-p' dmesg option to add decode & timestamp information to each line of a multi-line message. Notes: The new print_record() algorithm stores the decode & timestamp information in buffers. If the force-prefix option is used, the message is split into separate lines and each line is prefixed with the stored decode & timestamp information. The splitting of the message into separate lines is done using strtok() which requires write access to the message buffer (ie, the const message buffer is now copied into a writeable buffer). Successfully tested by me by looking at sysrq-t and sysrq-w output. All known good /tests passed with these changes. [kzak@redhat.com: - use snprintf() - cleanup \n usage (don't count line break to the message text in the parsers and always print \n after the text - add the option to the man page - use --force-prefix for kmsg only, old syslog(2) API splits messages itself - strdup() the message text only on force-prefix] Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
