     19 <h1> The <tt>s6-svdt</tt> program </h1>
     20 
     21 <p>
     22 <tt>s6-svdt</tt> prints the recorded death tally of a service, i.e. a list of the times
     23 the process died, with the cause of death.
     24 </p>
     25 
     26 <h2> Interface </h2>
     27 
     28 <pre>
     29      s6-svdt [ -S | -s ] [ -n <em>maxlines</em> ] <em>servicedir</em>
     30 </pre>
     31 
     32 <p>
     33  <tt>s6-svdt</tt> prints the contents of the recorded death tally of the service being
     34 currently supervised at the <em>servicedir</em>
     35 <a href="servicedir.html">service directory</a>, then exits 0.
     36 </p>
     37 
     38 <p>
     39  For each recorded death, s6-svdt prints one line. This line contains the
     40 following fields, separated with spaces:
     41 </p>
     42 
     43 <ul>
     44  <li> A <a href="https://cr.yp.to/daemontools/tai64n.html">TAI64N</a>
     45 timestamp .</li>
     46  <li> The word "signal" if the death was caused by a signal, or the word
     47 "exitcode" if the death was a normal exit. </li>
     48  <li> The name of the signal that caused the death, or the exit code
     49 of the process. </li>
     50 </ul>
     51 
     52 <h2> Options </h2>
     53 
     54 <ul>
     55  <li> <tt>-S</tt>&nbsp;: print signal names. This is the default. </li>
     56  <li> <tt>-s</tt>&nbsp;: print signal numbers. The numerical value of the signal
     57 will be printed instead of the signal name. </li>
     58  <li> <tt>-n&nbsp;<em>maxlines</em></tt>&nbsp;: limit the output to at most
     59 the latest <em>maxlines</em> deaths. </li>
     60 </ul>
     61 
     62 <h2> Exit codes </h2>
     63 
     64 <ul>
     65  <li> 0: success </li>
     66  <li> 100: wrong usage </li>
     67  <li> 111: system call failed </li>
     68 </ul>
     69 
     70 <h2> Notes </h2>
     71 
     72 <ul>
     73  <li> To obtain human-readable local time or GMT time instead of TAI64N timestamps,
     74 simply pipe s6-svdt's output into <a href="s6-tai64nlocal.html">s6-tai64nlocal</a>. </li>
     75  <li> Process deaths are recorded up to a default maximum of 100. This default can
     76 be modified via the <tt>max-death-tally</tt> file in the
     77 <a href="servicedir.html">service directory</a>. </li>
