filter pacman log entries

NAME

paclog - filter pacman log entries

SYNOPSIS

 paclog [options] [filters]...
 paclog [options] --pkglist
 paclog (--help|--version)

DESCRIPTION

If input is provided on stdin it will be parsed instead of --logfile. Log entries will be displayed if they match any of the provided filters. To display the intersection of multiple filters they can be connected by a pipe:

 paclog --after=2015-01-01 | paclog --warnings

OPTIONS

--config=path

Set an alternate configuration file path.

--logfile=path

Set an alternate log file path.

--root=path

Set an alternate installation root.

--sysroot=path

Set an alternate system root. See pacutils-sysroot(7).

--[no-]color

Colorize output. By default output will be colorized if stdout is a terminal.

--pkglist

Print the list of installed packages according to the log.

--help

Display usage information and exit.

--version

Display version information and exit.

Filters

--action=action

Display package operations. action must be one of "install", "reinstall", "upgrade", "downgrade", "remove", or "all".

--after=date, --before=date

Display entries after/before date. If seconds or timezone information is included it will be silently ignored, allowing output from "date -I" to be used:

 paclog --after "$(date -Iminutes --date '3 days ago')"
--caller=name

Display log entries from name. May be specified multiple times. Case-sensitive.

--commandline

Display pacman-style logged commandline entries.

--grep=regex

Display log entries whose message matches regex.

--package=pkgname

Display logged actions affecting pkgname. May be specified multiple times.

--warnings

Display errors, warnings, and notes.

CAVEATS

paclog determines whether or not to read the log file from stdin based on a naive check using isatty(3). If paclog is called in an environment, such as a shell function or script being used in a pipe, where stdin is not connected to a terminal but does not a log file to parse, paclog should be called with stdin closed. For POSIX-compatible shells, this can be done with "<&-".
