.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This tool is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(1)
suite\&.
.PP
\FCeventlogadm\F[]
is a filter that accepts formatted event log records on standard input and writes them to the Samba event log store\&. Windows client can then manipulate these record using the usual administration tools\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fB\-d\fR
.RS 4
The
\FC\-d\F[]
option causes
\FCeventlogadm\F[]
to emit debugging information\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-o\fR \FCaddsource\F[] \fIEVENTLOG\fR \fISOURCENAME\fR \fIMSGFILE\fR
.RS 4
The
\FC\-o addsource\F[]
option creates a new event log source\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-o\fR \FCwrite\F[] \fIEVENTLOG\fR
.RS 4
The
\FC\-o write\F[]
reads event log records from standard input and writes them to the Samba event log store named by EVENTLOG\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-o\fR \FCdump\F[] \fIEVENTLOG\fR \fIRECORD_NUMBER\fR
.RS 4
The
\FC\-o dump\F[]
reads event log records from a EVENTLOG tdb and dumps them to standard output on screen\&.

\fB\-h\fR
.RS 4
Print usage information\&.
.RE
.SH "EVENTLOG RECORD FORMAT"
.PP
For the write operation,
\FCeventlogadm\F[]
expects to be able to read structured records from standard input\&. These records are a sequence of lines, with the record key and data separated by a colon character\&. Records are separated by at least one or more blank line\&.
