  What:		/dev/kmsg
  Date:		Mai 2012
  KernelVersion:	3.5
  Contact:	Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org>
  Description:	The /dev/kmsg character device node provides userspace access
  		to the kernel's printk buffer.
  
  		Injecting messages:
  		Every write() to the opened device node places a log entry in
  		the kernel's printk buffer.
  
  		The logged line can be prefixed with a <N> syslog prefix, which
  		carries the syslog priority and facility. The single decimal
  		prefix number is composed of the 3 lowest bits being the syslog
  		priority and the higher bits the syslog facility number.
  
  		If no prefix is given, the priority number is the default kernel
  		log priority and the facility number is set to LOG_USER (1). It
  		is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
  		facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of
  		the messages can always be reliably determined.
  
  		Accessing the buffer:
  		Every read() from the opened device node receives one record
  		of the kernel's printk buffer.
  
  		The first read() directly following an open() always returns
  		first message in the buffer; there is no kernel-internal
  		persistent state; many readers can concurrently open the device
  		and read from it, without affecting other readers.
  
  		Every read() will receive the next available record. If no more
  		records are available read() will block, or if O_NONBLOCK is
  		used -EAGAIN returned.
  
  		Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole,
  		there are never partial messages received by read().
  
  		In case messages get overwritten in the circular buffer while
  		the device is kept open, the next read() will return -EPIPE,
  		and the seek position be updated to the next available record.
  		Subsequent reads() will return available records again.
  
  		Unlike the classic syslog() interface, the 64 bit record
  		sequence numbers allow to calculate the amount of lost
  		messages, in case the buffer gets overwritten. And they allow
  		to reconnect to the buffer and reconstruct the read position
  		if needed, without limiting the interface to a single reader.
  
  		The device supports seek with the following parameters:
  		SEEK_SET, 0
  		  seek to the first entry in the buffer
  		SEEK_END, 0
  		  seek after the last entry in the buffer
  		SEEK_DATA, 0
  		  seek after the last record available at the time
  		  the last SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR was issued.
  
  		The output format consists of a prefix carrying the syslog
  		prefix including priority and facility, the 64 bit message
  		sequence number and the monotonic timestamp in microseconds,
  		and a flag field. All fields are separated by a ','.
  
  		Future extensions might add more comma separated values before
  		the terminating ';'. Unknown fields and values should be
  		gracefully ignored.
  
  		The human readable text string starts directly after the ';'
  		and is terminated by a '
  '. Untrusted values derived from
  		hardware or other facilities are printed, therefore
  		all non-printable characters and '\' itself in the log message
  		are escaped by "\x00" C-style hex encoding.
  
  		A line starting with ' ', is a continuation line, adding
  		key/value pairs to the log message, which provide the machine
  		readable context of the message, for reliable processing in
  		userspace.
  
  		Example:
  		7,160,424069,-;pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [io  0x0000-0x0cf7] (ignored)
  		 SUBSYSTEM=acpi
  		 DEVICE=+acpi:PNP0A03:00
  		6,339,5140900,-;NET: Registered protocol family 10
  		30,340,5690716,-;udevd[80]: starting version 181
  
  		The DEVICE= key uniquely identifies devices the following way:
  		  b12:8        - block dev_t
  		  c127:3       - char dev_t
  		  n8           - netdev ifindex
  		  +sound:card0 - subsystem:devname
  
  		The flags field carries '-' by default. A 'c' indicates a
  		fragment of a line. All following fragments are flagged with
  		'+'. Note, that these hints about continuation lines are not
  		necessarily correct, and the stream could be interleaved with
  		unrelated messages, but merging the lines in the output
  		usually produces better human readable results. A similar
  		logic is used internally when messages are printed to the
  		console, /proc/kmsg or the syslog() syscall.
