.SH NOTES
|
||||
bootlogd saves log data which includes control characters. The log is
|
||||
technically a text file, but not very easy for humans to read. To address
|
||||
this the readbootlog(1) command can be used to display the boot log
|
||||
without the control characters.
|
||||
.SH BUGS
|
||||
Bootlogd works by redirecting the console output from the console device.
|
||||
