/usr/bin/dmesg [-] /usr/sbin/dmesg [-]
Note
dmesg is made obsolete by syslogd(1M) for maintenance of the system error log.
dmesg looks in a system buffer for recently printed diagnostic messages and prints them on the standard output. The messages are those printed or logged by the system when errors occur. If you specify the - option, then dmesg computes (incrementally) the new messages since the last time it was run and places these on the standard output.
