33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Op Fl d
36.Op Fl f Ar filename
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40utility provides minimal functionality to dump or display MCA records
41that were saved by the kernel during boot.
42The default behaviour of the
43.Nm
44utility is to display all new MCA records on stdout.
45When the
46.Fl d
47option is given, the records are dumped in binary form.
48The default file to which records are dumped is
49.Pa /var/log/mca.log .
50This can be changed by specifying the
51.Fl f
52option.
53New records are appended to the dump file.
54.Pp
55Previously dumped records can be displayed by giving the name of
56the dump file with the
57.Fl f
58option.
