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.
