logCat

•-U— Unhide "hidden" messages. This option causes all messages, including those being hidden by the "hideMsg" command to be displayed.

•-H— Enable the "hide" message feature. This option is used to toggle off the -Uswitch when it appears earlier on the command line or in the $HOME/.logCatRC file.

•-D— Set a debug flag, which causes locants to be printed at the beginning and some statistics to be listed at the end of the run.

Options in the .logCatRC file should be the same as they appear on the command line. The options that make most sense to put in the .logCatRC file are -m, -r, -p, -f, -V, -R, -T, -A, -B, -U, and -D.
