    command for read kernel message



    Hi Experts,

    My program is running on a openwrt linux box. What is the system call used for reading kernel messages.

    I have tried "logread -f", it reads the logs from syslogd, which includes logs from user-space applications also. But i need only kernel message, recorded by klogd. Can you please give some idea.

    Thanks
    Annada

    Hi,

    I think you can use the system call klogctl().
    Just go through "man klogctl" it is used to read/clear kernel message ring buffer.
