    NAME
           syseventd - kernel system event notification daemon
    
    SYNOPSIS
           /usr/lib/sysevent/syseventd [-d debug_level] [-r	rootdir]
    
    
    DESCRIPTION
           syseventd  is a user-level daemon that accepts delivery of system event
           buffers from the	kernel.	Once an	event buffer  has  been	 delivered  to
           syseventd,  it,	in turn, attempts to propagate the event to all	inter-
           ested end event subscribers.
    
    
           Event subscribers take the form of a syseventd loadable	module	(SLM).
           syseventd  passes  the  event  buffer to	each of	its subscribers	and in
           return expects a	notification as	 to  the  successful  or  unsuccessful
           delivery	attempt.
    
    
           Upon  successful	 delivery  of the event	buffer to all interested event
           subscribers, syseventd frees the	event buffer  from  the	 kernel	 event
           queue.
