💖 LOG2ASC(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the log2asc page from the User Commands section of the manual — this whole thing ships with log2asc version 2023.03-1build1, and it's genuinely so useful if you live in CAN-land. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

log2asc — the manual page for log2asc 2023.03-1build1. that's it, that's the name section, she's short and sweet 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

log2asc <options> [can-interfaces]

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so basically: log2asc converts a compact CAN frame logfile into an ASC logfile. that's the whole glow-up. compact in, ASC out, no cap ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

bestie there are only six but every single one matters, so we're doing all of them, periodt:

  • -I <infile> — where the input comes from. default is stdin, so if you don't say anything she just reads right off the pipe 🫶
  • -O <outfile> — where the output goes. default is stdout, same energy, she'll just yell into your terminal 🌈
  • -4 — reduces the decimal place to 4 digits. fewer numbers, still slaying 🔥
  • -n — sets the newline to cr/lf. the default is lf, so only reach for this if you specifically need the other one 💀
  • -f — uses the CANFD format for Classic CAN too. yes, even the classic ones, she's inclusive 🧚
  • -r — suppresses dlc for RTR frames, which is for pre v8.5 tools. old-tool energy, we still love them 🌸
ngl, -r is very much an iykyk situation — if you know your tools are pre v8.5, you know. if you don't, leave it alone 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

there's no SEE ALSO in this one bestie, she's a standalone queen 👑

and that's the whole page!! ✨ this was log2asc version 2023.03-1build1, dated December 2025 — go convert some logs, you're gonna eat 💅💖🦋
