NAME

/proc/kmsg - kernel messages

DESCRIPTION

/proc/kmsg

This file can be used instead of the syslog (2) system call to read kernel messages. A process must have superuser privileges to read this file, and only one process should read this file. This file should not be read if a syslog process is running which uses the syslog (2) system call facility to log kernel messages.

Information in this file is retrieved with the dmesg (1) program.
