💖 MLTAC 💖

okay bestie, so you know that thing where you're staring at a multilog logfile and it's scrolling the wrong way and you just want the newest stuff FIRST? yeah. that's what this is for. mltac is a tac frontend for multilog files. it's giving "reverse the whole file, but make it a one-word command." iconic behavior honestly. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mltac [OPTION]... SERVICE [CAT-OPTION]...

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

mltac is a tac frontend for multilog files. like, it wraps tac so you don't have to remember where daemontools puts anything. 💅

  • -h, --help — shows you the help and then dips out. bye! ✨
  • -V, --version — shows you the version and then also dips out. two ways to say goodbye, we love options. 🎀

This utility is a frontend for tac to easily tac logfiles from services running under daemontools. the way that it works is: you just say the service name — and bestie, that means the name of the service directory without the leading path. no /service/whatever, just the name itself. 🦋

and THEN, after the service name, you can throw in literally any tac options you want. anything tac can do, you can hand it right over. it's a whole vibe. for more infos, go read the man page for tac — that's where the real tea is. 🍓

not me needing you to remember that the options go after the service name, okay? order matters. periodt. 💀
