list mst

Last Updated : Nov 01, 2012 |

Use list mst to see the messages in the trace buffer while a trace is active or disabled. If the trace is active, older messages may be sporadically omitted if wraparound is selected and the message rate is high. The integrity of the buffer remains intact even when list mst is used repeatedly.

Syntax

list mst  [ from message number ] [ count  number ][ continuous | LIFO | FIFO | auto-page ] 
from message number

First message in the list. List indicates if the number is not in the buffer, and no additional messages appear.

If no message number is entered, the list begins with the oldest FIFO message.

count number

The number of messages in the list.

Use this number to limit the trace.

continuous

Display updates as new messages enter the trace buffer (FIFO). This option is most useful in conjunction with auto-page. The command terminates when canceled by the user.

LIFO

Show newest message first.

FIFO

Show messages in the order received.

auto-page

The screen will automatically page when full. Use with continuous to see messages arrive.

MST message descriptions

The terminology Message [n] used in this section refers to the byte at offset n in the message being displayed.

MST message types contain a version number. When the structure of the MST message changes, the version field in the MST buffer also changes. Version 1 displays a blank in the version field immediately after the MST message type field. Subsequent versions display the version number after the MST message type field and are connected with a hyphen (-). For example: Version 2 of the X.25 Application error/notification message added the text of the pm state table stimulus, which was ignored.
