They are stored as circular memory buffers on the device. If you run "adb logcat > myfile" on your host system, you can retrieve the content into a file.

To get post-mortem information from a device it is helpful to see the timestamp as well. To let you know when the event occurred, try: adb logcat -d -v time > logfile.txt
