NAME
evminfo - provide information about EVM
SYNOPSIS
evminfo {-lc | -vp |
-verify verify_option [-file
verify_file])
DESCRIPTION
The
evminfo command writes selected information about the EVM environment to its standard output
stream.
The options determine the information to be displayed.
Options
-lc Reads the EVM channel configuration file,
/etc/evmchannel.conf
, and writes a list of all
the configured event channels. To review the events available for retrieval through a particu-
lar set of channels, use the
evmget -c
command.
-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 sys-
tem events in a way that is independent of the host system.
Use the
-vp option, if you are writing a script that may be used on other platforms that sup-
port EVM, and whose system events may have a different prefix.
-verify verify_option [
-file verify_file ]
Checks the syntax of the EVM configuration file specified by verify_option. Valid values for
verify_option are
daemon, logger,orchmgr, 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.
RETURN VALUES
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
not 0 An error occurred.
EXAMPLES
• In the following example, the
evminfo -lc command lists the names of all event channels
configured in the EVM channel configuration file, and then evmget retrieves events from two of the
listed channels.
$ evminfo -lc
evmlog
$ evmget -A -C evmlog
• This example illustrates using evminfo -vp in a shell script. It determines the first two com-
ponents 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
