.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBsosreport\fR generates a compressed tar archive of diagnostic
information from the running system. The archive may be stored
locally or centrally for recording or tracking purposes or may
be sent to technical support representatives, developers or
system administrators to assist with technical fault-finding and
debugging.
.LP
Sos is modular in design and is able to collect data from a wide
range of subsystems and packages that may be installed. An
XML or HTML report summarizing the collected information is
optionally generated and stored within the archive.
