MOTION-LOGGER(1)

💖 motion-logger — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to motion-logger — it's a page from the The Enhanced Machine Controller man set (that's the LinuxCNC crew 🧚), and honestly? She's a little mysterious. But we're gonna get into it together, no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

motion-logger — logs the motion commands that get sent from LinuxCNC's Task module 🎀

Like, that's her whole job. That's the gig.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

motion-logger

that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no args, just vibes 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so motion-logger is a test program — not a main-character utility, a test program — whose whole personality is logging motion commands sent from LinuxCNC's Task module over to the Motion module 💖

ngl, she's largely used by the regression tests, and she is poorly documented. The original man page says so out loud. We're just being honest here, bestie 😭

that's genuinely all she does. a little logging queen. a real one. ✨

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• LinuxCNC(1) — go read that one too, bestie 🫶

also, lowkey the biggest treasure trove: much more information about LinuxCNC and HAL lives in the LinuxCNC and HAL User Manuals, and you'll find them at:

/usr/share/doc/LinuxCNC/

go. read. hydrate. 📚💧
