logCat
The logCat command reads the compressed logging files and outputs
human readable messages.
Synopsis
logCat [-{t|b} lines] [-a locant] [-z locant] [-v] [-c] [-m] [-r root]
[-s locant] [-q locant] [-w width] [-p continuation-prefix]
[-d data -l log-prefix | file] [-f format] [-V]
Description
The logCat command reads in a file of compressed logging messages
generated by log and expands them to a readable format.
The default action, with no arguments, is to list all log files of the type
specified first in the Config file. For example, logCat -d${LOGROOT}/data -
l{primary-log-prefix}. The options are as follows:
• -t lines — Tails the last “lines” of file.
• -b lines — Shows the beginning “lines” of file.
• -v — Specifies the verbose mode (that is, report the file names of the files
examined).
• -c — Continuously displays the last lines of file. If the logdaemon
switches to a new file, follow it.
