47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48.Nm
49monitors SCSI Environmental Services (or SAF-TE) devices for changes
50in state and logs such changes to the system error logger
51(see
52.Xr syslogd 8 ) .
53At least one device must be specified.
54When no other options are supplied,
55.Nm
56detached becomes a daemon, by default waking up every 30 seconds to
57poll each device for a change in state.
58.Pp
59The following options may be used:
60.Bl -tag -width Ds
61.It Fl c
62Try to clear enclosure status after read.
63.It Fl t Ar poll-interval
64Change the interval of polling from the default 30 seconds to the number
65of seconds specified.
66.It Fl d
67Instead of detaching and becoming a daemon, stay attached to the
68controlling terminal and log changes there as well as via the system
69logger.
70.El
71.Pp
72The user may then use
73.Xr getencstat 8
74to get more detailed information about the state of the over enclosure device
75or objects within the enclosure device.
