📦 version 3.1.3, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💅 cs_dmesg — cluster dmesg, but make it readable ✨

okay so bestie, this is cs_dmesg from the ClusterTools2 manual (section 8, system admin commands, iykyk). let me tell you everything about it 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

cs_dmesg — show dmesg with converted time stamps 🕐

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cs_dmesg [OPTION]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: cs_dmesg shows dmesg output with converted time stamps. That's the whole main character energy of this thing.

It takes the output of dmesg and writes a human readable date/time string in front of every single line. Iconic, right? And how does it get that date/time string? It literally calculates it by adding the boot time to dmesg's time stamp. math slay 💅 No more squinting at raw kernel timestamps wondering what year it is, ngl.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --help — show help. that's it, that's the option 🫶
  • --version — show version. so you know what you're working with ⭐

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

  • 0 — successful program execution. we love a clean exit 💖
  • >0 — usage, syntax or execution errors. not the vibe, but good to know 😭

🍓 FILES 🍓

  • /usr/sbin/cs_dmesg — the program itself. literally the star of the show 👑
  • /usr/sbin/cs_convert_time — the time conversion between Unix Epoch and wall clock. the little helper doing the actual math, lowkey carrying the whole operation 🧚
