SYSEVENTD(1M)SYSEVENTD(1M)NAMEsyseventd - kernel system event notification daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sysevent/syseventd [-d debug_level] [-r rootdir]
DESCRIPTIONsyseventd is a user-level daemon that accepts delivery of system event
buffers from the kernel. Once an event buffer has been delivered to
syseventd, it, in turn, attempts to propagate the event to all inter‐
ested end event subscribers.
Event subscribers take the form of a syseventd loadable module (SLM).
syseventd passes the event buffer to each of its subscribers and in
return expects a notification as to the successful or unsuccessful
delivery attempt.
Upon successful delivery of the event buffer to all interested event
subscribers, syseventd frees the event buffer from the kernel event
queue.
OPTIONS

-d debug_level
Enable debug mode. Messages are printed to the invok‐
ing user's terminal.
-r rootdir

creating its door and lock files. Modules continue to
be loaded from the standard module directories.
EXIT STATUS

0
Successful completion.
non-zero
