VERSION

Version 0.1.1

SYNOPSIS

use Log::Colorize::Helper; use Getopt::Std; #gets the options my %opts=(); getopts('efhtn:g:ivlFGJ', \%opts); #init it my $clog=Log::Colorize::Helper->new; #set tail/head stuff if needed if ( ! defined( $opts{n} ) ){ $opts{n}=10; } if ( $opts{t} ){ $opts{t}=$opts{n}; } if ( $opts{h} ){ $opts{h}=$opts{n}; } $clog->colorize( { echo=>$opts{e}, log=>$ARGV[0], head=>$opts{h}, tail=>$opts{t}, grep=>$opts{g}, less=>$opts{l}, follow=>$opts{f}, 'grep-insensitive'=>$opts{i}, 'grep-invert'=>$opts{v}, 'grep-first'=>$opts{F}, bzip2=>$opts{J}, gzip=>$opts{G}, } );

This module uses Error::Helper for error reporting.

METHODS

new

Creates a new object. This method will never error.

my $clog=Log::Colorize::Helper->new;

colorize

args hash

bzip2

The log is compressed using bzip2.

echo

Print the command used.

follow

A Perl boolean for if it should follow while tailing.

Default is false.

If set to true and tail is not specified it is set to 10.

head

How many lines to print at the top of the file.

The default is 0, false. This means head will not be used.

Can't be combined with tail.

grep

An optional string to grep for.

A Perl boolean to run grep infront of the head/tail instead of after.

The default is false.

This is a Perl boolean value for if grep should be case insensitive.

The default is false.

This is a Perl boolean value for if grep should be inverted or not.

The default is false.

gzip

The log is compressed using gzip.

less

A Perl boolean value for if it should pass it to 'less -R'

log

The log file to colorize.

tail

How many lines to print at the bottom of the file.

The default is 0, false. This means tail will not be used.

Can't be combined with head.

#gets the options my %opts=(); getopts('efhtn:g:ivlFGJ', \%opts); #init it my $clog=Log::Colorize::Helper->new; #set tail/head stuff if needed if ( ! defined( $opts{n} ) ){ $opts{n}=10; } if ( $opts{t} ){ $opts{t}=$opts{n}; } if ( $opts{h} ){ $opts{h}=$opts{n}; } $clog->colorize( { echo=>$opts{e}, log=>$ARGV[0], head=>$opts{h}, tail=>$opts{t}, grep=>$opts{g}, less=>$opts{l}, follow=>$opts{f}, 'grep-insensitive'=>$opts{i}, 'grep-invert'=>$opts{v}, 'grep-first'=>$opts{F}, bzip2=>$opts{J}, gzip=>$opts{G}, } );

ERROR CODES

No log file specified.
