Synopsis

perfshowalpacrc [slot/]port [ALPA]

Description

Use this command to display the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error count of one or all devices
attached to a port. If the AL_PA operand is specified, only the CRC count for that AL_PA device is
displayed. If the AL_PA operand is not specified, the CRC count for all the AL_PA devices on a
specified port are displayed.

CRC count is a 64-bit counter. The CRC count value is displayed in hexadecimal.
