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.
