It would appear that on Nov 21, Oddball did say:
Indeed it is, but the two files differ (#dmesg -x , dmesg > ~/Documenten/dmesg_output.txt) in this way, that: see example: I know man documents can be hard to understand, but if you do a:
man dmesg,
and while your in the man document you search for the "-x" option
that is type "/-x" and hit enter... It tells you what the -x option does to the dmesg output... Perhaps what your trying to ask is something like:
What are these things that "man dmesg" calls "facility and level (priority) number"?
I don't know if anyone will tell us. But the mere fact that it's obvious from that question that I at least looked at the man document, may inspire someone to explain...
The option '-x', i used to get readable output, as it is designed for that purpose. The output is readable, no question. What i notice, that however the output of dmesg alone sent to '>' ~/somedir is also human readable, differs totally from dmesg -x. The last will give output directly into tty (or other terminal window used). I know i can copy and paste to a file in an editor, that is not what i wanted to say. The output differs, which i did not expect. Try yourself, and you will see what i mean. dmesg -x shows, in human readable terms, what the kernel is actually doing at a moment during the boot proces. (that is if i understand correctly..) How it invokes the hardware to join the feast, and echo's to find out if the hw reacts as expected, and if not, it will repeat the action. AS when a network or network card does not start or appears at a time it should. There are several tries to get it all online. The output of dmesg > ~/somedir is not as easy to translate, that is not by me. Hence the '-x' human readable output. -- Have a nice day, Oddball.
