logCat

Format

The basic format of the message can be controlled in a number of ways. The "-f" option or the LOGFORMAT environment variable specify the format using the following special sequences to specify the various parts of a message.

The default format is: "%P %T %N %S:%L\n%M"

%P(...) — Priority level format: %d or %s

%T(...) — Time level format: all options supported by "date" cmd. There is also an additional format, "%u", which is the Unix time printed as an 8- digit hexidecimal number.

%N — Name of process.

%S — Sourcefile name.

%L — Line number.

Message text

If (%r) is specified, the fields of the message are not expanded, but just entered "raw." If a separator character is specified, it is placed between each raw field. If it is not specified, then the FS character is placed between each field and a GS character is placed after the last field, which is just the way the fields would appear in the compressed logging files.

%C — The entire compressed message.

%% — % character.
