============== colorized-logs
Here's a handful of tools for dealing with logs with ANSI color.
Some tools like gcc, dmesg, grep --color, colordiff, ccze, etc can enhance their output with color, making reading a lot more pleasant. The difference can be as big as between slogging through twenty pages of a build log to find a failure, and a swift drag of the scroller to do the same within a second.
Such colored logs can be usually viewed on a terminal or with "less -R"; this package gives you:
- ansi2html: convert logs to HTML
- ansi2txt: drop ANSI control codes
- ttyrec2ansi: drop timing data from ttyrec files
- pipetty: makes a program think its stdout and stderr are connected to a terminal; use as a prefix: "pipetty dmesg|tee"
