portslogger1
Logs ports builds selectively
Usage
portslogger [-s]
directory
Overview
portslogger saves logs from ports build in separate files.
portslogger handles directory change messages from the ports tree infrastructure and switches to a corresponding log file situated in directory accordingly, e.g., it will log the build from screen in directory/screen-4.0.3p1.log. portslogger will filter progress-bar noise from ftp(1), pkg_add(1), and pkg_create(1).
By default, portslogger acts as a filter and still passes its input to stdout, unless run with -s.
It is most often used as
$ make package 2>&1 | portslogger logdir
or in conjunction with tmux(1), such as
$ tmux pipe-pane 'portslogger -s logdir'
