✨ ttcn3_logmerge — the TTCN-3 log file merge utility ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ttcn3_logmerge(1), part of the TTCN-3 Tools fam 💖 this is your girl's quick reference for the logmerge utility, and yes it's gonna be cute AND correct, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ttcn3_logmerge [ -o outfile ] file.log ...

or

ttcn3_logmerge -v

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this manual page is a quick reference for the logmerge utility of the TTCN-3 Test Executor 💅 the ttcn3_logmerge utility lives in $TTCN3_DIR/bin (yes, that's where it's at, remember it), and what it does is merge all the files you pass as command arguments into one single output file.

and the way it sorts?? obsessed. 🔥 the output of ttcn3_logmerge is sorted based on the timestamps found in the log files. literally chronological, as it should be.

where this eats: test suites running in parallel mode. it can merge the logs of different PTC into one single file based on the timestamps — like, all the chaos, one tidy timeline ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

here's every command line switch, and there are only two so you literally have no excuse:

  • -o outfile — merges all input log files into outfile. if outfile already exists, its contents will be overwritten 😭 (rip whatever was in there). this switch is optional, and when you omit it, the merged logs get printed to standard output instead.
  • -v — prints version and license key information, then exits. short and sweet, a lil info dump and she's gone 🎀

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

two of them, both important, both iconic:

  • TTCN3_DIR — the installation directory where the uncompressed binary package of TTCN-3 Test Executor can be found. this is the one that tells you where your stuff lives 🏠
  • TTCN3_LICENSE_FILE — it shall point to the file (NB: not to its directory bestie, the FILE, i'm being so serious) that contains the personalized license key for the current user or host. 🔑

💀 BUGS 💀

None known at this time

...yeah. flawless behavior, apparently. we love a clean record 🙈✨
