Working with the Error Log
Detection of an error
The error logging process begins when an operating system module detects an error. The error detecting segment of code then sends error information to either the
errsave() kernel service or the errlog() application subroutine, where the information
is in turn written to the /dev/error special file. This process then adds a timestamp to
the collected data. The errdemon daemon constantly checks the /dev/error file for new
entries, and when new data is written, the daemon conducts a series of operations
