A Summary of Commands vfyLogMsg
UCS 1000 R4.2 Administration 585-313-507 Issue 3 April 2000 614
Note: You cannot use the vfyLogMsg command to look up a message
format for a message class that you have just created, but not yet
installed.
The msgnum argument can be in any of the following four formats:
• absolute message number
The absolute message number format would be used if you were
examining compressed logging files with an editor, for example, 238
• symbolic name
The symbolic name is found in the associated log{CLASS}.h header file,
for example, SYSMSG
• message class/relative index in class pair
• logGEN(2) or GEN.2
This last format can be specified in two ways: logGEN(2) or GEN.2
Two forms exist because the log{CLASS}(index) form must be enclosed
in quotes when used from the command line because the ‘(‘ and ‘)’ are
shell meta-characters, which are difficult to type.
