Firmware Test Suite - klog test

This test checks the kernel log for BIOS, ACPI and UEFI error messages and warnings issued by the kernel. By default it will scan the current kernel message ring buffer, but the --klog and -k options can be used to specify the kernel log to be scanned.

Examples:

fwts klog -

..runs the test on your machine and dumps the output to stdout.

fwts klog --klog=/var/log/dmesg -

..runs the test using /var/log/dmesg as the input and dumps the test results to stdout.

fwts klog -k savedkernelmessages.log

..runs the test using kernel messages from savedkernelmessages.log and appends the results to results.log
