=head1 NAME

kdb - Displays log or privileged actions performed by the Authentication Server

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=for html
<div class="synopsis">

B<kdb> S<<< [B<-dbmfile> <I<dbmfile to use (default /usr/afs/logs/AuthLog)>>] >>>
    S<<< [B<-key> <I<extract entries that match specified key>>] >>> [B<-help>]

=for html
</div>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<kdb> command displays the contents of the F<AuthLog.dir> and
F<AuthLog.pag> files associated with the F<AuthLog> file that resides on
the local disk, by default in the F</usr/afs/logs> directory. The files
must exist in that directory, which normally implies that the
Authentication Server is running on the machine. The files contain
information on privileged actions performed by the Authentication Server.

=head1 CAUTIONS

It is possible that on some operating systems that AFS otherwise supports,
the Authentication Server cannot create the F</usr/afs/logs/AuthLog.dir>
and F</usr/afs/logs/AuthLog.pag> files, making this command
inoperative. See the I<IBM AFS Release Notes> for details.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item B<-dbmfile> <I<dbmfile to use>>

Specifies the pathname of the file to display. Provide either a complete
pathname, a pathname relative to the F</usr/afs/logs> directory, or a
filename only, in which case the file must reside in the F</usr/afs/logs>
directory. Omit this argument to display information from the
F<AuthLog.dir> and F<AuthLog.pag> files in the F</usr/afs/logs> directory.

=item B<-key> <I<extract entries that match specified key>>

Specifies each entry to be displayed from the indicated file.

=item B<-help>

Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.

=back

=head1 OUTPUT

The first line of output indicates the location of the files from which
the subsequent information is derived:

Each entry then includes the following two fields, separated by a colon:
