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.
