SYSLOGC(8)		 BSD System Manager's Manual		    SYSLOGC(8)

NAME
     syslogc - collect messages from syslog memory buffer

SYNOPSIS
     syslogc [-Ccoq] [-s reporting_socket] logname
     syslogc [-Cc] logname
     syslogc -q

DESCRIPTION
     syslogc collects messages from the syslogd(8) memory buffer specified by
     the logname argument.

     For syslogc to work, syslogd(8) must be configured with one or more
     memory buffer logs (see syslog.conf(5) for details) and have a reporting
     socket location specified on the commandline (using the -s option to
     syslogd(8)).

     By default, syslogc will query the specified log and return it to stan-
     dard output.

     The options are as follows:

     -C	     Request that the log buffer be cleared without reading it.

     -c	     Request that the log buffer be cleared once it has been read.

     -o	     Check whether the specified log has overflowed. If the log has
	     overflowed, then a message will be printed to stdout(4) and the
	     exit status will be set to 1.

     -q	     Request a list of available logs.

     -s reporting_socket
	     Specify alternate reporting socket location (the default is
	     /var/run/syslogd.sock).
