Hi Deepak,



Thanks for your response.



I am referring the link you shared.

I am interested in reviewing your doc.



I interpret Maheswari's original question as:

1. how to create a new event type,

2. how to generate an event (such as from a daemon monitoring a gpio pin, or interactively from the command line or a test program), 3. how to monitor for event and write SELs, and 4. how to read SELs from the log.



That is, generating the SEL is the desired result, but I need to understand the flow from end-to-end.



I assume there is code that already does each of these things.  Perhaps your doc could walk us through it and explain each piece?
