Overview
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:

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 "<&-".
