.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Start at the end of the kmsg buffer and fill the provided buffer with as many of the the *youngest* kmsg records that fit into it\&. If the buffer is large enough, all available kmsg records will be copied with a single call\&.
.PP
Consecutive calls will fill the buffer with the next block of available older records, not including the earlier retrieved ones\&.
.PP
A return value of FALSE indicates that there are no more records to read\&.
