# gfjournal(1)

display status of a journal file

## NAME

gfjournal - display status of a journal file

## SYNOPSIS

**gfjournal** \[*options*\] *journal-file*

## DESCRIPTION

**gfjournal** reads a journal file and outputs status report about the file to standard out. By default, it outputs the status summary of the journal file, like this:

```
	records  seqnum(min/max)          record length(min/max/ave)
	     30           2/          31          24/    120/     37
```

With '-l' option, **gfjournal** also outputs all records in the journal file:

```
	seqnum    operation        length  argument
	        2 BEGIN                 24
	        3 MDHOST_ADD            56 name=gfmd1.example.com
	        4 END                   24
	        5 BEGIN                 24
	        6 USER_ADD              68 username=gfarmadm
	        7 END                   24
