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.
