Hi,
I did some changes to dmesg(1) in last days:
* \x<hex> encoding is used for non-printable chars and invalid
multibyte sequences
* add --decode option to decode facility and level (priotity) number to
human readable prefixes, for example:
$ dmesg --decode
kern :info : [53335.593617] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100
kern :info : [53335.743185] PM: resume of devices complete after 2496.795 msecs
kern :debug : [53335.743593] PM: Finishing wakeup.
kern :warn : [53335.743595] Restarting tasks ... done.
kern :info : [53335.790452] video LNXVIDEO:00: Restoring backlight state
* add --facility=<LIST> option to filter out messages, for example:
$ dmesg --facility=daemon,user
[ 1.802065] dracut: dracut-009-11.fc15
[ 1.811267] dracut: rd.luks=0: removing cryptoluks activation
[ 1.813913] dracut: rd.lvm=0: removing LVM activation
[ 1.819348] udev[111]: starting version 167
* add --level=<LIST> option to filter out messages, for example:
$ dmesg --level=debug,info
$ dmesg --facility=kern --level=warn,err
* add --clear option to clear the kernel ring buffer
* add --read-clear to read and clear the kernel ring buffer
* add --console-off and --console-on to control output to console
* -n <LEVEL> (--console-level) supports human readable level names,
for example:
$ dmesg --console-level=emerg,alert
Comments & suggestions?
