🌸 CBMEM — like, the coolest way to read your timestamps and console log 💅

okay bestie, so this little icon is part of the System Administration Utilities lineup, and it's called cbmem. It's a parser to read timestamps and console log. That's it, that's the whole job, and it does it beautifully. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS

cbmem [-cCltTLxVvh?]

yeah, just vibes and a lil pile of flags. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION

parser to read timestamps and console log

fr fr that's the mission statement. it parses, it reads, it serves. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay so here's the whole menu, no skipping, every single one:

  • -c | --console — print cbmem console 🖨️
  • -1 | --oneboot — print cbmem console for last boot only. just the most recent one, no nostalgia. 🌱
  • -2 | --2ndtolast — print cbmem console for the boot that came before the last one only. throwback boot, if you will. 🕰️
  • -B | --loglevel — maximum loglevel to print. and here's the cute part: prefix it with + (e.g. -B +INFO) to also print lines that have no level. inclusivity!! 🫶

  • -l | --list — print cbmem table of contents 📚
  • -x | --hexdump — print hexdump of cbmem area 🔢
  • -r | --rawdump ID — print rawdump of specific ID (in hex) of cbtable. note: that ID is in hex, don't come at me with decimals bestie. 💀
  • -t | --timestamps — print timestamp information ⏱️
  • -T | --parseable-timestamps — print parseable timestamps 🧾
  • -S | --stacked-timestamps — print stacked timestamps (e.g. for flame graph tools) 🔥🔥
