💖 READBOOTLOG(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for readbootlog — a User Command, and honestly? it's giving "small tool, big slay". sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

readbootlog — shows you what's inside the boot log, and strips away all the control characters so your eyeballs don't have to deal with that mess 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

readbootlog [-h] [-f file]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so readbootlog is literally a tool for reading the boot log — and by default that's /var/log/boot. 🎀

the program strips away control characters and all the non-human-readable contents from the log file, so what's left is actually readable instead of a wall of cursed symbols. no cap.

the output gets dumped to the terminal, where you can pipe it or redirect it to a file. main character energy for your logs, fr fr. ✨

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -f file — tells readbootlog to use a specific file instead of /var/log/boot. like, "not that file, this file, bestie" 🫶
  • -h — displays a brief help message. iconic. a little "here's how this works" moment 🙈

✨ FILES ✨

  • /var/log/boot
