evminfo(1)evminfo(1)NAMEevminfo - Provides information about EVM
SYNOPSISevminfo-lc | -vp | -verify verify_option [-file verify_file]
OPTIONS
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. Writes a string that can be used
as the first two components (by convention the vendor and product com‐
ponents) 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 sys‐
tem events may have a different prefix. Checks the syntax of the EVM
configuration file specified by verify_option. Valid values for ver‐
ify_option are auth, daemon, logger or chmgr, to verify the EVM autho‐
rization, the EVM daemon, the EVM logger or the EVM channel configura‐
tion 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 environ‐
ment to its standard out stream. The options determine the information
to be displayed.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: Successful completion. 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 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.

ple checks the syntax of the EVM daemon configuration file. evminfo-verify daemon
