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.
