PROGRAM:

NAME


lnav - ncurses-based log file viewer

SYNOPSIS


lnav [-hVsar] [logfile1 logfile2 ...]

DESCRIPTION


The log file navigator, lnav, is an enhanced log file viewer that takes advantage of any
semantic information that can be gleaned from the files being viewed, such as timestamps
and log levels. Using this extra semantic information, lnav can do things like
interleaving messages from different files, generate histograms of messages over time, and
providing hotkeys for navigating through the file. It is hoped that these features will
allow the user to quickly and efficiently zero in on problems.
